General Assembly Resolution 302

General Assembly Resolution 302, adopted in 1947, concerns the future of the former British Mandate of Palestine. It established the United Nations Special Committee on Palestine (UNSCOP) to investigate options for resolving the conflicting claims of Jews and Arabs in the region. The resolution recommended partitioning Palestine into separate Jewish and Arab states, with Jerusalem as an international city. This plan aimed to address tensions and facilitate peaceful coexistence, though it was ultimately accepted by some parties and rejected by others, leading to ongoing conflict in the area.
