The representative of the United States said that the problem is without precedent meaning obviously that it was not visualized and therefore is not. provided for in our Charter. But he feels that if thirty-eight States accept the partition scheme, that would almost amount to law in and of itself. What is the significance of that observation made by the representative of the United States to the Committee and then to the Press? Is that not a confession that the scheme lacks legal, juridical and constitutional authority, and that you are called upon not only to accept the scheme as a scheme, but by your vote also to supply the juridical authority that it lacks?

Where in the Charter is there the authority to do what you are invited to do? Has the General Assembly the authority to do it? Has the Security Council the authority to do it? Are both combined authorized to do it? Read more: themuslimtimes.org/2012/10/religion/islam/sir-zafrullah-khans-speech-on-the-question-of-palestine#ixzz38ehqLjTX
