League of Nations mandate From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Mandates in the Middle east and Africa. Mandates in the Pacific.A League of Nations mandate refers to several territories established under Article 22 of the Covenant of the League of Nations, 28 June 1919. Upon the entry into force of the Charter of the United Nations in late 1945, the mandates of the League of Nations became United Nations Trust Territories, as agreed earlier at the Yalta Conference. All the territories subject to League of Nations mandates were previously controlled by states defeated in World War I, principally Imperial Germany and the Ottoman Empire. The mandates were fundamentally different from protectorates in that the Mandatory power undertook obligations to the inhabitants of the territory and to the League of Nations. The process of establishing the mandates consisted of two phases: the formal removal of sovereignty of the previously controlling states the transfer of mandatory powers to individual states among the Allied Powers. The exact level of control by the Mandatory power over each mandate was decided on an individual basis by the League of Nations. However, in every case the Mandatory power was forbidden to construct fortifications or raise an army within the mandate and was required to present an annual report on the territory to the League of Nations. Despite this, mandates were seen as de facto colonies of the empires of the victor nations. The mandates were divided into three distinct groups based upon the level of development each population had achieved at that time. Contents [hide] 1 Class A mandates 2 Class B mandates 3 Class C mandates 4 Treaties 5 References [edit] Class A mandates The first group or Class A mandates were areas fomerly controlled by the Ottoman Empire deemed to "...have reached a stage of development where their existence as independent nations can be provisionally recognized subject to the rendering of administrative advice and assistance by a Mandatory until such time as they are able to stand alone. The wishes of these communities must be a principal consideration in the selection of the Mandatory." The Class A mandates were Iraq (United Kingdom) Lebanon (France) Palestine, including Transjordan (United Kingdom) Syria (France) By 1949 all of these mandates had been replaced by new governments. en.wikipedia.org
