Resolution 1244 is the final act in a series of decisions and actions which, taken together, changes the legal and theoretical structure of international politics.
In the early years of the 1990’s, the Security Council authorized the creation of de facto UN trusteeship governments in Cambodia and Somalia, countries where, because government had collapsed, the Council decided the situation of local populations created humanitarian crises that were also threats to regional, if not international peace and security.
Then NATO, claiming authority under those UN resolutions, declared invalid the authority of the current government of that nation to rule in a portion of its own territory and intervened militarily to enforce that decision.

When the UN entered zones in Croatia and the UNTAES mission in Eastern Slavonia had been set up, troops either moved out immediately or were disarmed.

The Security Council identified concrete objectives for the peaceful resolution of the Kosovo crisis on the basis of fundamental principles of sovereignty and territorial integrity of the FRY and proper respect for the legitimate interests of all ethnic groups living in the province.
Unfortunately, some actions by the leadership of the UN Mission (UNMIK) and the Force for Kosovo (KFOR), primarily the lack of proper cooperation on their part with Belgrade and the UN Security Council, further provoke such a dangerous course of events.
We are also seriously worried by the lack of progress in the implementation of those provisions of Resolution 1244 which are called upon to set in motion a political process aimed at determining the future status of Kosovo inside the FRY and returning a limited Yugoslav army and police contingent to the province.
