Before a territory becomes a state, it should be governed through a transitional framework that ensures stability, security, and the protection of human rights. This often involves a combination of local governance and oversight by an international body or a larger governing entity, allowing for self-determination while maintaining order. Engaging the local population in decision-making processes is crucial to foster legitimacy and avoid conflict. Additionally, establishing clear legal and administrative structures can help facilitate a smooth transition to statehood.
