UNMIK practice of Kosovo's foreign relations: a new way to create an International Law Frankestein?

The assignment of the implementation of the Foreign Policy of an administered territory to the International Administration that takes the ius representationis and the competence to conclude International treaties on arouses two non-explored issues. The first one regards the possibility to recognize some International subjectivity of the administered territories. The second one suggest whether the exercise of the Foreign Relations of the administered territory by the International Administration could help the accession of this territory to be recognized as a State in an arguable way according to the International Law or even conflicting to what it states, as it would be perceived the case of the Republic of Kosovo. This paper will attempt to bear out, through the analysis of the practices of UNTAET and UNMIK both, the relationship of cause-and-effect between the implementation of the Foreign Policy by the International Administration of the territory and the identification of some International subjectivity of the administered territory as a prelude to the accession to the recognition as a State.
