MANDATED TERRITORY Meaning and Definition

1. A mandated territory refers to a region or territory under the administration and control of a League of Nations mandate in the early 20th century. The League of Nations created this system as a means of temporarily assigning administrative control over former colonies and territories that were captured during World War I. These territories, which previously belonged to the defeated Central Powers (Germany, Austria-Hungary, and the Ottoman Empire), were deemed to be not ready for full independence and self-governance.

   Under a League of Nations mandate, a designated country or power, known as the mandatory power, was assigned the responsibility of administering the mandated territory. The primary objectives of the mandate were to ensure the proper development and welfare of the territory's inhabitants, to promote good governance, and to eventually guide the territory towards self-determination and independence.

   The mandatory power was mandated by the League of Nations to act as a trustee and guardian for the mandated territory, with the aim of preparing the territory for future independence. The mandatory power was responsible for overseeing the administration, financial management, and development of the mandated territory. They aimed to maintain peace, security, and stability while fostering economic growth, educational advancement, and social progress.

   Mandates were typically granted for predetermined periods of time, often with the hope that the mandated territories would become self-sufficient and eventually transition into fully independent nations. The period of League of Nations mandates lasted from the end of World War I in 1919 until the organization's dissolution in 1946. Following the dissolution of the League of Nations, the United Nations assumed responsibility for the mandated territories through a similar system called the Trusteeship Council.

Etymology of MANDATED TERRITORY

The word "mandated territory" has its etymology rooted in the concept of "mandate" which comes from the Latin word "mandatum", meaning "command" or "order". In the context of colonial history, a mandated territory referred to a region that was placed under the administration of a country as a result of a mandate issued by the League of Nations or the United Nations.

This usage of "mandate" emerged following World War I when the dismantlement of the Ottoman Empire led to the allocation of certain regions to be administered by other countries under a legal framework known as "mandatory system". These mandatory territories were entrusted to various countries, which acted as "mandatories", to guide and develop them until they were ready for self-governance.

The term "mandate" in this sense acquired a specific legal and administrative meaning, distinguishing it from conventional colonial territories.
