from Part VI - Jewish Statehood on the Ground
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 09 December 2021
The issue of legal responsibility for the flight of Palestine’s Arab population could have been posed to the International Court of Justice. Forced expulsion was an act prohibited in international law. The issue was raised in the Security Council. The Arab Higher Committee charged that the military forces backing the incipient Jewish state engaged in forced expulsion of the population. This charge was denied in the Security Council. Such acts as might have been deemed atrocities were explained as reactions to use of force by Arab parties. Factual evidence was available to resolve the issue. United Nations military observers had reported acts of forcible expulsion. Atrocities against the Arab population had been reported by international media. The Arab League reported atrocities against Arab civilians.
