All international administration, however benign, is to some extent illegitimate. International administrations thus often seek to enhance their legitimacy by broadening the international support for their mandate. Yet in so doing they may compromise their capacity to administer a territory effectively. The United Nations has been seen by some as the “least illegitimate” authority available in the absence of a sovereign government. However, it is not particularly well configured to perform the functions of national administration, although UN administrations have had some notable successes. The need for broad consensus and compromise, which are cornerstones of the UN’s legitimating authority, can lead to an administration of limited resources, cumbersome processes, and convoluted decisionmaking
