League of Nations - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia A three person League of Nations committee was sent to the region in 1924 to study the case and in 1925 recommended the region to be connected to Iraq, under the condition that the UK would hold the mandate over Iraq for another 25 years, to assure the autonomous rights of the Kurdish population. According to the UK, which was awarded a League of Nations A-mandate over Iraq in 1920 and therefore represented Iraq in its foreign affairs, Mosul belonged to Iraq; on the other hand, the new Turkish republic claimed the province as part of its historic heartland.

The British had, in the Hussein-McMahon Correspondence, previously promised the Hashemite family lordship over most land in the region in return for their support in the Great Arab Revolt during World War I. In 1920 at the Conference of San Remo, Italy, the League of Nations mandate over Palestine was assigned to Britain.

Ralph Bunche Educational Resources Instructor's Notes Ralph Bunche & the UN While Bunche was busily engaged in trusteeship matters, the question of the future of Palestine, a League of Nations Mandated Territory administered by Britain, was put on the agenda of the United Nations General Assembly. Bunche's doctoral dissertation at Harvard, French Administration in Togoland and Dahomey (1934) examined the workings of one the mandated territories of the League of Nations Mandate System, the earliest instance of international intervention in the pre-World War II imperial colonial preserves and the precursor of the United Nations Trusteeship System. In this office, plans for the implementation of the Atlantic Charter's promise of "the right of all peoples [including colonial] to choose the form of government under which they will live" were being developed for inclusion in a yet-to-be created United Nations Organization. www.pbs.org /ralphbunche/education/instruct_ralph.html   (2895 words)

The Council was not mandated to supervise the administration of other Non-Self-Governing Territories, some of which fall under the purview of committees of the General Assembly3. www.geocities.com /myints/UN_TC.html   (2895 words)

UNTAG Instead, South Africa informed the United Nations in 1949 that it would no longer transmit information on the Territory, on the grounds that the Mandate had lapsed with the demise of the League. In 1950, the International Court of Justice (ICJ) held that South Africa continued to have international obligations towards the Territory, and that the United Nations should exercise the supervisory functions of the League of Nations in the administration of the Territory. South Africa, however, continued to refuse to comply with the United Nations resolutions, and continued its illegal administration of Namibia, including the imposition of apartheid laws, the bantustanization of the Territory, and the exploitation of its resources. www.un.org /Depts/dpko/dpko/co_mission/untagS.htm   (2895 words)

"Occupied Territories or Disputed Territories?" The last international legal allocation of territory that includes those strategic zones of what is today the West Bank and Gaza Strip occurred with the 1922 League of Nations Mandate for Palestine which recognized Jewish national rights in the whole of the Mandated territory. Moreover, these rights were preserved under the United Nations as well, according to Article 80 of the UN Charter, despite the termination of the League of Nations in 1946. It is not surprising that at the United Nations, the U.S. has opposed the phraseology of "occupied Palestinian territories." In March 1994, U.S. Ambassador to the UN Madeleine Albright stated: "We simply do not support the description of the territories occupied by Israel in the 1967 War as occupied Palestinian territory." www.jcpa.org /art/brief1-1.htm   (2895 words)

Jewish Legal Rights and Title to the Land of Israel and Palestine This new demand unduly held up the pending confirmation of the Mandate for Palestine that had already been submitted by Balfour on behalf of the British Government to the Council of the League of Nations on December 7, 1920, and was on the verge of being acted upon. The actual terms of those mandates and the powers exercised by the Mandatory were in each case explicitly defined and confirmed by the Council of the League unless previously agreed upon by the Members of the League. The United States unexpectedly insisted on receiving for itself as well as for its nationals the same rights and benefits that were being given to all members of the League of Nations and their nationals, which would have been granted to them in any event. www.malchut-israel.org /lishka/jewish_rights.htm   (2895 words)
