Ακούσαμε και διαβάσαμε πολλά και διάφορα για την απόφαση της κυβέρνησης των ΗΠΑ να μεταφέρει την πρεσβεία της στην Ιερουσαλήμ.
Στην απόφαση αυτή αντιτάχθηκε με συντριπική πλειοψηφία η παγκόσμια κοινότητα η οποία βρήκε και εναν εύκολο τρόπο να "αντιταχθεί" στον αμερικανικό και ισραηλινό "μπαμπούλα".
Όμως εκείνο το οποίο μας προκαλεί έκπληξη και αίσθηση είναι το γεγονός ότι όλοι όσοι αντιτάχθηκαν στην απόφαση των ΗΠΑ να μετακινήσει την πρεσβεία της στην Ιερουσαλήμ, ουσιαστικά καταπάτησαν τον καταστατικό χάρτη του ΟΗΕ με...... "ανησυχητική" άνεση!
Στην περίπτωση της Αμερικανικής κυβέρνησης να μετακινήσει τις πρεσβευτικές υπηρεσίες της στην πόλη της Ιερουσαλήμ, έχουμε μια σαφή επέμβαση σε εσωτερική απόφαση των ΗΠΑ με πρωτεργάτη ένα κράτος,
Τουρκία, πρωταγωνιστή του βιασμού και καρατόμησης μια μικρής νησιωτικής χώρας, Κύπρος, το οποίo κράτος -Τουρκία, με όρους Εγκληματολογίας θα μπορούσε να χαρακτηρισθεί κατα συρροή κράτος δολοφόνος αφού συνεχίζει την δολοφονία και βιασμό των Κουρδικών πληθυσμών και προσφάτως του πληθυσμού της Συρίας, ενώ απειλεί και με νέα μέτωπα...Ελλάδα!
Ας δούμε όμως τι αναφέρουν πλέον ειδικοί ημών:
(1) UN Charter Article 2 (7) prohibits the United Nations from dealing with matters within the sovereign domestic jurisdiction of the United States. Article 2(7) states: “Nothing contained in the present Charter shall authorize the United Nations to intervene in matters which are essentially within the domestic jurisdiction of any state.”
President Trump’s recognition power – his decision to recognize Israel’s capital Jerusalem – is a matter within the domestic jurisdiction of the United States. The U.S. Supreme Court confirmed this in Zivotofsky v. Kerry, 576 U.S. __, 135 U.S. 2076 (2015), saying: “The text and structure of the Constitution grant the President the power to recognize foreign nations and governments.” Thus, the United Nations is prohibited from criticizing the United States’ sovereign right to confer recognition.
(2) If, despite the foregoing and item (3) below, the United Nations nonetheless is authorized to deal with this matter, UN Charter Article 12 prohibits the UN General Assembly from dealing with it, because according to UN Security Council Resolution 2334 (2016), the matter is still before the UN Security Council, which has not requested that the UN General Assembly take action or make recommendations.
UN Charter Article 12 states: “While the Security Council is exercising in respect of any dispute or situation the functions assigned to it in the present Charter, the General Assembly shall not make any recommendation with regard to that dispute or situation unless the Security Council so requests.”
UN Security Council Resolution 2334 (2016), which purports to deal with the status of “East Jerusalem” (a misnomer for the eastern portion of Jerusalem), among other issues, specifically states UN Security Council “Decides to remain seized of the matter.” (UNSC Res. 2334, para. 13.) In other words, the UN Security Council is continuing to exercise jurisdiction of the matter.
The UN Security Council has not requested that the General Assembly make recommendations on this matter, and thus the UN General Assembly has no power to pass a resolution regarding the matter. (UN General Assembly resolutions are recommendations.) (UNSC Res. 2334, paragraph 12, merely “Requests the Secretary-General to report to the Council every three months on the implementation of the provisions of the present resolution.” This reporting request does not authorize a UN General Assembly recommendation/resolution.
(3) Like all anti-Israel resolutions, this new proposed anti-American, anti-Israel UN General Assembly resolution violates UN Charter Article 80 (the Jewish people’s clause) – which preserved the Jewish people’s rights to reconstitute the Jewish homeland and closely settle the Palestine Mandate, which encompassed Jerusalem.
In the entire debate now taking place on whether the United Nations
Security Council or General Assembly has the right to approve the
application of the “Palestinian Authority” to be recognized as a new
member state of the UN, almost no mention is made of the legal fact that
the UN itself is barred by its own Charter from acting upon or
approving such an application.
The reference here is, of course, to Article 80 of the UN Charter, once known unofficially as the Jewish People’s clause, which preserves intact all
the rights granted to Jews under the Mandate for Palestine, even after the Mandate’s expiry on May 14-15, 1948. Under this provision of international law (the Charter is an international treaty), Jewish rights to Palestine and the Land of Israel were not to be altered in any way unless there had been an intervening trusteeship agreement between the states or parties concerned, which would have converted the Mandate into a trusteeship or trust territory.
The only period of time such an agreement could have been concluded under Chapter 12 of the UN Charter was during the three-year period from October 24, 1945, the date the Charter entered into force after appropriate ratifications, until May 14-15, 1948, the date the Mandate expired and the State of Israel was proclaimed.
Since no agreement of this type was made during this relevant three-year period, in which Jewish rights to all of Palestine may conceivably have been altered had Palestine been converted into a trust territory, those Jewish rights that had existed under the Mandate remained in full force and effect, to which the UN is still committed by Article 80 to uphold, or is prohibited from altering.
As a direct result of Article 80, the UN cannot transfer these rights over any part of Palestine, vested as they are in the Jewish People, to any non-Jewish entity, such as the “Palestinian Authority.” Among the most important of these Jewish rights are those contained in Article 6 of the Mandate which recognized the right of Jews to immigrate freely to the Land of Israel and to establish settlements thereon, rights which are fully protected by Article 80 of the UN Charter.
It should be common knowledge that under the Mandate, all of Palestine was reserved exclusively for the establishment of the Jewish National Home and future independent Jewish State, as was previously decided at the San Remo Peace Conference that took place in April 1920.
Or put another way, no part of Palestine was allotted for an Arab National Home or state, since Arab self-determination was being generously granted elsewhere – in Syria, Iraq, Arabia, Egypt and North Africa – which has led to the establishment of the 21 Arab states of today, over a vast land mass from the Persian Gulf to the Atlantic Ocean.
There is thus no necessity for a new independent Arab State in the specific area of former Mandated Palestine reserved for Jewish self-determination, most particularly, in Judea, Samaria and Gaza. Creating such a state out of Jewish land would be blatantly illegal under Article 80 of the UN Charter and beyond the legal authority of the UN itself.
In this respect, neither the League of Nations nor its successor, the United Nations, ever had sovereign rights over the land we Jews call Eretz-Israel. As a non-sovereign, the UN has no power whatsoever to allot territory to the “Palestinian Authority” where the allotted territory already belongs to the Jewish People.
Moreover, there is no article in the UN Charter which gives either the Security Council or the General Assembly or even the Trusteeship Council the power to create a new independent state.
If the UN had such power, then logically it would also have the inverse power to “de-create” or dismember an existing state, a power it certainly does not enjoy under the UN Charter. If, theoretically speaking, this power did exist, the UN would be in effect a world legislature that could make or unmake states by its own volition, a power that would put in jeopardy the present world order.
For the foregoing reasons, the bill introduced in the US Congress by Ileana Ros-Lehtinen is definitely the proper course of action to follow. UN illegality needs to be roundly condemned and stopped dead in its tracks by an appropriate punitive measure, exactly as Ros-Lehtinen has proposed.
Her bill would be even more worthy if it were to include a direct reference to Article 80 and to the fact that the UN has no legal power to create a state or to allot another state’s territory for that purpose, accomplished through the devious or underhanded means of accepting the applicant’s request for membership in the world body.

The United Nations General Assembly resolution criticizing President
Donald Trump’s sovereign right to recognize Israel’s capital, violates
at least three articles of the United Nations Charter, and is not within the power of the UN General Assembly to address, for the following reasons:(1) UN Charter Article 2 (7) prohibits the United Nations from dealing with matters within the sovereign domestic jurisdiction of the United States. Article 2(7) states: “Nothing contained in the present Charter shall authorize the United Nations to intervene in matters which are essentially within the domestic jurisdiction of any state.”
