‘It is Better to Leave, We Can't Protect You’: Flight in the First Months of United Nations Transitional Administrations in Kosovo and East Timor

Fabrizio Hochschild

UNHCR, Tanzania

In both East Timor and Kosovo international intervention allowed for the rapid return of displaced populations but also led to new flight, mainly of those sympathetic to the previous regime. A principal cause was a breakdown in law and order and subsequent revenge attacks or the fear of such attacks. Delays in re-establishing law and order were caused by inadequacies in the mandates of the two UN administrations, an initial lack of resources, poor planning and misplaced perceptions and priorities. An analysis of these shortcomings allows a number of lessons to be drawn for future transitional administrations.

Received February 2004. Revised April 2004.
