The governmental role played by the United Nations in Kosovo since 1999 raises a host of questions for international lawyers. Chief among these is whether governmental acts of the United Nations Interim Administration Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK) should be subject to review within Kosovo for compliance with applicable legal standards. In principle, such review would be helpful in ensuring UNMIK accountability and in sending the message that the governors—as well as the governed—in Kosovo are subject to the rule of law. However, for many, the prospect of actors in Kosovo second-guessing decisions taken by UNMIK is problematic, partly due to a fear that review could be used to derail the UNMIK-led peacebuilding process in the territory.
