United Nations General Assembly Resolution 181, also known as the Partition Resolution, was adopted on November 29, 1947. The resolution called for the partition of Palestine into two states, one Jewish and one Arab, with Jerusalem under a special international regime.
The resolution was considered a legal basis for the establishment of Israel by the Jewish community in Palestine, but was rejected by the Arab community. The resolution was followed almost immediately by violence, including the 1948 Arab-Israeli War.
The resolution remains relevant today for several reasons, including:
- It confirmed the international community's recognition of the Jewish people's right to a state in their historical homeland.
- The formula of two states for two peoples remains Israel's position in peace negotiations.
- The Arab population's refusal to accept the resolution demonstrated their unwillingness to establish their own state if it meant allowing a Jewish state to exist.
The UN Charter states that the General Assembly's resolutions are recommendations, not legally binding.
