The only possible justification for international administration is the need to rescue people from the effects of arbitrary or ineffective government, and to help them acquire the skills needed for stable and enlightened self-rule. An internationally administered territory should, therefore, be a showcase of accountable and participatory government, yet few if any could be convincingly so described. At the same time, the “demand” for international administration is potentially very large, and it will continue to exceed the “supply.” This suggests that states need either to find other ways of responding to these situations, or to devote much more attention to devising policies that can prevent them from arising, or to develop a much expanded intervention capacity. These are not mutually exclusive options, and states would be well advised to adopt all of them
