Abstract:
Palestine in general and Jerusalem in particular have always been one of the most important issues of the United Nations throughout its 60-year life. Since 1947, the General Assembly and the Security Council have approved more than three hundred resolutions regarding Palestine. In this article, an attempt has been made to examine, by referring to the history of the city of Jerusalem, the developments related to internationalization, occupation, partition, settlement, annexation, transfer of capital, changing the face of the city, fires, excavation, wall construction, and various plans proposed by the United Nations for this city, and to reveal the extent of compliance or non-compliance of these actions with international rules and norms. Furthermore, this study shows how incapable the United Nations has been in confronting the actions of the Zionist regime and preventing this regime from continuing these actions.
Machine summary:
In this article, an attempt has been made to examine, by referring to the history of the city of Jerusalem, developments related to internationalization, occupation, partition, settlement building, annexation, transfer of the capital, changing the face of the city, arson, excavation, wall construction, and various plans proposed by the United Nations for this city, and to reveal the extent of compliance or non-compliance of these actions with international rules and norms.
In addition to the above, the United Nations General Assembly, in Resolution 303 on December 9, 1949, emphasized Resolution 181 and the special international regime in Jerusalem, and called upon the Trusteeship Council to prepare the constitutional system of this city in an ordinary or extraordinary session and to prevent any action that would damage this system.
On September 25, 1971, the United Nations Security Council adopted Resolution 298, through which it expressed its regret over Israel's disregard for the international regulations mentioned in previous resolutions regarding Jerusalem, and emphasized that all administrative and legislative actions of Israel, including the confiscation of lands and property, the transfer of residents, and laws aimed at annexing East Jerusalem to Israel, are all null and void and cannot create any change in the natural status of Palestine.
The United Nations General Assembly and the Security Council, in other resolutions, have condemned the Zionist regime's behavior contrary to international law and recognized the actions of this regime in Palestine, and especially in Jerusalem, as lacking legitimacy.
