Constitution-Making Under Un Auspices: Fostering Dependency in Sovereign Lands, Sripati Vijayashri

The Constitutions salience makes UNCA the most significant post-1989 development---one that promotes the rule of law, provides the basis for UN/ international territorial administration, and shapes all other developments. During colonialism, foreign states and international organizations
starting from the League of Nations, followed by the United Nations, internationalized the Constitution in response to the colonies supposed incapacities, and ostensibly to promote free markets, rule of law, good governance and civilized standards concerning women, with a view to civilize them,
and thereby morph them into sovereign states. Post 1960, UNCA has worked essentially to secure debt-relief for poor debtor sovereign states. But it does so, ostensibly to promote the same ends with a view to modernize them, thus strengthening their supposedly weakened sovereignty, which means,
sovereign states experience political domination and control just as they did when they were colonies.
