The Allied Administration of Captive Hostiles, established in VII.1723 AN following the Alkhiva Summit of the Community of Goldfield, was brought into being to supercede the national-level programmes of internment for enemy combatants and stateless persons captured by the armed forces of member states during the ongoing Wars of the Disinherited. As the Confederacy of the Dispossessed remained an unrecognised polity, those of its fighters, and amongst those of the subject populace whom it was deemed impracticable to integrate into the society of the conquering powers, who had been taken into custody were being held as unlawful combatants on an open ended basis.

As the present situation was proving onerous for the armed forces and civil administrations of the allied powers alike, and as the Committee of Euran Salvation had, as of early 1723, begun to make blood curdling threats as to the fate of ex-Bassarids in Surenid custody as it would be unwilling or unable to feed all of them by the next winter, an enduring solution was required.
