		The UNSCOP report concluded that the only viable solution for Palestine was to separate Jews and Arabs by partitioning the territory into separate Jewish and Arab states.
		The UNSCOP partition plan was approved by the UN General Assembly on November 25th 1947 over general opposition by the Arab states.

		UNSCOP recommended that the British mandate be terminated immediately and that the independence of Palestine (in whatever form it might exist) be achieved as quicky as possible.
		UNSCOP quickly rejected both extremes for the future "state" of Palestine: a single independent state of Palestine under either Jewish or Arab domination.

		UNSCOP stands for the United Nations Special Committee on Palestine Formed in May of 1947, in response to the handover of the British Mandate of Palestine to the UN to vote upon which solution to use for partitioning the land.
		The Arab state would receive the Western Galilee, with the town of Acre, the Samarian highlands and the Judean highlands, and the southern coast stretching from north of Isdud (now Ashdod) and encompassing what is now the Gaza Strip, with a section of desert along the Egyptian border.
		The UNSCOP report placed the mostly-Arab town of Jaffa, just south of Tel Aviv, in the Jewish state, but it was moved to form an enclave part of the Arab State before the proposal went before the UN.

	29 November, 1947
		UNSCOP was appointed seven months earlier, after Great Britain, which ruled the country on the basis of a League of Nations Mandate, decided that in light of the growing Jewish resistance and violent opposition to its rule, it was unwilling to continue on the existing basis, and handed the whole issue over to the UN.
		The UN Committee reached the conclusion that the Mandate for Palestine should be terminated, and most of its members recommended the establishment in the territory of Mandatory Palestine of an Arab state and a Jewish state, while internationalizing Jerusalem.
		Despite this fact, the Zionist Organization and the institutions of the Jewish community in Eretz Yisrael agreed to accept the plan, since it recognized the right of the Jewish people to a state and not only a "national home" as stated in the 1917 Balfour Declaration and the 1922 Mandate for Palestine.

		It was decided to address a letter to the Arab Higher Committee and to state therein that UNSCOP had noted with regret the decision of the Arab Higher Committee not to co-operate, and to repeat the Special Committee's invitation for full co-operation as expressed by the Chairman in his broadcast appeal of June 16.
		UNSCOP also recorded its concern over acts of violence which had occurred in Palestine since its arrival, declaring that such acts constituted a flagrant violation of the General Assembly's resolution of May 14, 1947.
		UNSCOP proposed to eliminate Western Galilee from the Jewish State; that was an injustice and a grievous handicap to the development of the Jewish State.

	Ivan Rand and the UNSCOP Papers - Part 2- The United Nations & Israel
		Yet a few weeks later, when UNSCOP members had left Palestine and had gone to Geneva, Switzerland, to write their report, Rand distanced himself from the views of the Canadian and British governments.
		And he reaffirmed the legality of the Balfour Declaration and suggested it was the White Paper of 1939, with its restrictive limits on Jewish immigration, that was the illegal document and the real source of the problems in Palestine.
		Unlike the other UNSCOP members who were isolated and cooped up away from the “rank and file of Palestine,” Rand was invited to many social engagements.

	Ivan Rand and the UNSCOP Papers - Part 1 - The United Nations & Israel
		This is because the committee that he served on, the United Nations Special Committee on Palestine (UNSCOP), deliberated in secrecy; their meetings and discussions were never made public.
		The report also advised of the "futility" in determining which people have suffered the worst "catastrophe," and included a Jewish position paper that argued for one unitary Palestinian state and said that partition was not in the best interests of the Jews.
		The UNSCOP papers clearly demonstrate that without Rand, there would not have been a final report that so thoroughly and persuasively recommended partition as the only viable way of helping the Jews in Palestine and the Diaspora.

		At the special session, the Assembly established the United Nations Special Committee on Palestine (UNSCOP), made up of 11 Member States, to investigate all questions relevant to the problem of Palestine and to recommend solutions to be considered by the regular session in September 1947.
		While Jewish organizations cooperated with UNSCOP in its deliberations, the Palestinian leadership in the Arab Higher Committee decided not to participate, on the grounds that the United Nations had refused to address the question of independence and failed to separate the issue of Jewish refugees of Europe from the question of Palestine.
		Australia, the remaining member of UNSCOP, abstained from voting on either plan because it maintained that the recommendations exceeded the Committee's terms of reference.

		During 1947, the Jewish population had increased through immigration of survivors of the death camps by at least 20,000; UNSCOP, under the category of "Arabs and others," had counted some 80,000–90,000 Bedouins in the Negev, while Morris apparently excluded them because neither in Arab nor Jewish calculations were the Bedouins participants in the struggle.
		One strong pressure on UNSCOP was the need for refuge of hundreds of thousands of Jews who had survived Hitler and faced great difficulty in finding countries that would accept them.
		Civil war between Jews and Arabs had been going on in Palestine for decades and a major concern of UNSCOP was to partition Palestine in order to end this civil war.
