192295292London: His Majesty's Stationary Office 1922. Rare original pamphlet establishing the <span class="match">Palestine</span> <span class="match">Mandate.</span> Octavo 12 pages. Scarce and desirable. A<span class="match"> crucial document in Middle Eastern history</span>. At the 1919 Paris Peace Conference despite huge pressure from France most of the 1916 Sykes-Picot Treaty relating to the post-war political solution of the Middle East was enforced. Emir Faisal bin Hussein bin Ali al-Hashemi 1885-1933 leader of the Arab Revolt was named as King of the Arab Kingdom of Syria but as he had relinquished coastal areas of Syria to the French he found himself undermined by Syrian extremists agitating for a Greater Syria. Wavering he caved in to their demands and rejected his previous accommodation with the French. Simultaneously Feisal's political grip of inland Syria started to wane and the Allies hurriedly reconvened this time at San Remo Italy in April 1920 and hammered out an allocation of Mandates. This change in policy supported by American enthusiasm for Mandates brought political stability to the region enforced by imperial ambition and repressive force killing off the Sykes-Picot Treaty which had at least in principle enshrined the idea of Arab self-determinism. The British under pressure from the Anglo-Indian government supported the French in order to secure Mesopotamia and were given the Mandate of Palestine. The present volume is the finalised version of the terms under which the British would govern the Mandate. There was provision for the settlement of Jews and the establishment of 'the Jewish national home' as per the Balfour Declaration of 1917. However there was considerable debate as to whether this should apply to the eastern area of the Mandate known as Trans-Jordan and the current work carries a note explicitly stating that these provisions are not be enacted in Trans-Jordan. In effect this limited the eastern boundary of any future Jewish state to the River Jordan Khalidi & Khadduri 1650. His Majesty's Stationary Office unknown books
192195293London: His Majesty's Stationary Office 1921. Rare collection of original documents relating to the Palestine Question 1917-1947. Octavos 3 volumes unbound. Scarce and desirable. With the failure of the Anglo-American Committee of Inquiry in 1946 the British government requested the General Assembly of the United Nations to form a special committee to investigate the Palestine problem. The United Nations Special Committee on Palestine UNSCOP arrived in Palestine on 15 June 1947. The Arab Higher Committee believed UNSCOP to be pro-Zionist and so boycotted proceedings although some members of the AHC did meet the committee in a private capacity. While UNSCOP was in Palestine the SS Exodus arrived in Haifa with Jewish Displaced Persons seeking to illegally immigrate to Palestine and some have stated that it was this that changed the UN's outlook to support the creation of the state of Israel. UNSCOP's final recommendations delivered on 3 September 1947 at Geneva supported the termination of the Mandate with a majority of committee members recommending the partition of Palestine into two separate states and a minority favouring a federal union with Jerusalem as its capital. Having originally boycotted UNSCOP the Arab Higher Committee must have realised that there would have been only a very small window of opportunity between the Geneva meeting and the General Assembly vote to present their case and so compiled the present lot. Published on 1 October 1947 it contains 46 different documents 'Including the texts of correspondence memoranda and notes submitted to British and international authorities by Palestinian Arab organisations between 1921 and 1947' Khalidi & Khadduri. One assumes it was distributed to members of the UN General Assembly prior to the vote on Partition; this occurred on 29 November 1947 with the General Assembly adopting Resolution 181 based on the UNSCOP majority plan with only slight modifications to the proposed recommendations. We can only trace 11 copies in institutions: 2 in the UK LSE and Oxford 8 in the US and one at the American University of Beirut Khalidi & Khadduri 780. His Majesty's Stationary Office unknown books
