		<description><![CDATA[Hi Ann,

I appreciate this blog, but can I suggest you read the following in relation to the UN Security Council.

Regards

Stewart

The General Assembly charged the Security Council with final deliberation on the partition plan. The United Nations Security Council (by a majority; led by the US) in March 1948 rejected the General Assembly partition plan as it endangered international peace and security. The Security Council recalled the General assembly to meet in April and May 1948. The US proposed placing Palestine under UN trusteeship. The Jewish Agency was outraged and decided that they would create a Jewish state whether or not they had the United Nations support. They did this on 14 May 1948.

SECURITY COUNCIL OFFICIAL RECORDS, 3RD YEAR : 271ST MEETING, 19 MARCH 1948, LAKE SUCCESS, NEW YORK 
S/PV271

Mr Austin (United States):

In addition, my Government believes that a temporary trusteeship for Palestine should be established under the Trusteeship Council of the United Nations to maintain the peace and to afford the Jews and Arabs of Palestine, who must live together, further opportunity to reach an agreement regarding the future government of that country…In our opinion, the Security Council should recommend the establishment of such a trusteeship to the General Assembly and to the Mandatory Power.  This would require an immediate special session of the General Assembly, which the Security Council should instruct the Palestine Commission to suspend its efforts to implement the proposed partition plan. (p. 167)

[Rabbi Silver replaced Mr Shertok at the Council table as representative of the Jewish Agency for Palestine.] 

Rabbi Silver (Jewish Agency for Palestine): (p. 168)

The proposal of the United States Government to suspend all efforts to implement the partition plan approved by the United Nations General Assembly last November, under the leadership of the United States, and to establish a temporary trusteeship for Palestine, is a shocking reversal of its position…We are at an utter loss to understand the reason for this amazing reversal…We can only assume from the statement of the United States delegation that the reason for scrapping a decision of the United Nations General Assembly, overwhelmingly approved by its members, was the threat on the part of some Member States to alter that decision by violence…It should be clear to everyone that the establishment of a trusteeship by the United Nations in Palestine will not automatically ensure peace in that country, and that force will have to be used to maintain that arrangement, just as it would have been necessary to carry out the partition decision of the United Nations  (p. 169).]]></description>
