  • Summary

    A power on the part of the General Assembly of the United Nations to decide on a partition of Palestine was argued to have been inherited by the United Nations from the League of Nations. The League of Nations, it was argued in response, had no territorial rights in Palestine, hence nothing to leave to the United Nations. At its final meeting, the Assembly of the League of Nations discussed the various mandate territories. It did not anticipate that it was passing on any powers over them to the United Nations. A Preparatory Committee for the United Nations indicated that no powers in regard to political issues were being inherited from the League of Nations.
