Abstract
My thesis deals specifically with the origin and the
coming into being of a new system of international cooperation - the
Mandates System. This system was a political arrangement
created at the end of World War I. It was one of several steps
taken to neutralize the dangers of imperialism and the consequent
rivalries between nations. The mandates were territories removed
from exclusive sovereign jurisdiction of the administrating
states and placed under international jurisdiction subject to
the supervision of the League of Nations. Specific mandated
territories were the former colonial possessions of those states
defeated during World War I, i.e. Germany and Turkey. The
establishment and administration of the mandate system was
based on Article XXII of the League of Nations Covenant and
on specifically negotiated mandate agreements. The plan
allocated each mandated territory to the administrative supervision
of a state known as the Mandatory.
