ABSTRACT
The term 'international administration' embraces a wide range of experiences, historical and contemporary. UN Transitional Authority in Cambodia (UNTAC) was established in February 1992 to implement the Paris Accords that sought to end the conflict among four Cambodian factions. At the other end of the spectrum, international administration takes the form of direct governance, as exemplified by three operations: the UN Transitional Administration for Eastern Slavonia, Baranja and Western Sirmium (UNTAES), the UN Interim Administration Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK) and the UN Transitional Administration in East Timor (UNTAET). North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) eleven-week bombing campaign against the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (FRY), which aimed to weaken the Yugoslav forces engaged in the violent repression of Kosovo Albanians. The international administration of Bosnia, which has no formal name, was established as part of a complex peace process that culminated in the 1995 signing of the General Framework Agreement for Peace in Bosnia and Herzegovina, better known as the Dayton Accord.
