"This book provides the first comprehensive account of the work of the United Nations Special Committee on Palestine (UNSCOP), constituted by the United Nations General Assembly in 1947 to study the situation in Palestine at the end of the British Mandate and make recommendations about its political future. Utilizing a wealth of archival documentation, some of it never before studied, Elad Ben-Dror explores the various aspects of UNSCOP's activity to understand how they came to determine the fate of the country's inhabitants. The book analyses the methods and motivations of the various members, with special attention given to the personal viewpoint of each member of the committee. Through this Ben-Dror shows that the partition recommendation emerged after a long process of study, debate, and compromise that was very much dependent on the characters and circumstances of the individual members of the committee. UNSCOP and the Arab-Israeli Conflict will be a key text in understanding the role of UNSCOP in shaping the modern Middle East. It will be appropriate for scholars and students of political science, Palestine and Israeli history, the Arab-Israeli conflict, the UN and diplomacy, and conflict resolution"-- "Without Recommendations" : Handing the Palestine Question over to the United Nations -- UNSCOP : First Steps -- The Encounter with Palestine -- With Their Own Eyes -- The Hearings in Palestine -- The Testimony of the Arab States -- The Inquiry in the DP Camps -- Decision Point : Drafting the Report -- UNSCOP's Report -- "Eleven Committees of One Man Each" : The Personal Views of UNSCOP's Members -- The Great Powers and UNSCOP.
