Security Council Resolution 242 and the Right of Repatriation

In: Journal of Palestine studies, Band 37, Heft 1, S. 49-61

Abstract

Israel takes the position that UN Security Council 242's call for a ""just settlement of the refugee problem"" does not require the repatriation of the Arabs displaced from Palestine in 1948. However, the background to the drafting of that phrase, reviewed in this article, suggests that this was in fact the intention of the resolution's drafters.
