| | UN Security Council Resolution 242 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | According to the legal principle "expressio unis et exclusio alterus" (which states that the terms excluded from a law are excluded intentionally, and the interpretation of that law should be accordingly altered) it could be argued against the "all territoires" reading. | | | In simple terms, the dispute is about whether the Resolution would require Israel to retreat from all the territories it has captured, or whether it would still comply with the resolution by retreating, on mutually agreed terms, only from some of the territories. | | | The representatives from Nigeria, France, USSR, Bulgaria, United Arab Republic, Jordan, Argentina and Mali supported this view, and as worded by the representative from Mali: "wishes its vote today to be interpreted in the light of the clear and unequivocal interpretation which the representative of India gave of the provisions of the United Kingdom text". |

| | Internal Israeli Politics |
| | The subsequent American clarification of Resolution 338, which was the basis of Israel’s agreement to a cease-fire, established that the term "negotiation between the parties" means direct negotiations and that all agreements and maps that result from these direct negotiations be determined by agreement between the negotiating parties. | | | Second, according to the legal opinion of Israeli Attorney General Elyakim Rubinstein, UN Security Council Resolution 242 addresses the relationship between the countries that held sovereignty on June 4, 1967. | | | This important distinction recognizes that Israel has the right to live within "secure and recognized boundaries," as stated in the resolution. |

| | In 1988 the Palestine National Council accepted General Assembly Resolution 181 (the UN partition plan), calling for the internalization of the city as a corpus separatum. | | | In a recent letter, the European Union reiterated that it regards Jerusalem as a corpus separatum according to the terms of the 1947 partition plan. | | | Finally, there was the corpus separatum plan for Jerusalem proposed as part of the UN Partition plan. |

| | Does the International News Media Overlook Israel's Legal Rights in the Palestinian-Israeli Conflict? - Dan Diker |
| | Arafat's PLO was not mentioned in Resolution 242 and had no legal status under that resolution. | | | Despite the fact that the United Nations, the successor to the League of Nations, proposed that Jerusalem be divided as part of a corpus separatum, in General Assembly Resolution 181 of November 1947, the Arab armies' invasion of the fledgling Jewish state in May 1948 rendered UN Resolution 181 a "dead letter." | | | Major international legal experts such as former U.S. State Department Legal Advisor Steven Schwebel, who also headed the International Court of Justice at The Hague, further support Israel's position. |

| | Many Security Council and other UN resolutions have dealt with specific Israeli grave breaches of the Convention and other acts contrary to its provisions, such as settlements, measures related to Jerusalem, deportations, indiscriminate shooting of civilians and collective punishment. | | | Many of those resolutions call upon Israel, the occupying Power, to comply with the provisions of the Convention and to accept its de jure applicability. | | | In response to Israel’s continuing illegal policies and measures in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, which have persisted since 1967 in flagrant violation of international humanitarian law and U.N. resolutions, the international community has acted to reassert its position. |

| | United Jerusalem - - J.C.P.A. -- 3/28/2002 |
| | U.S. and Israeli negotiators should realistically judge the success of the summit by the extent that it does not weaken the agreed terms of reference of negotiations in the past, particularly UN Security Council Resolution 242. | | | Language stating that a "fair solution" to the refugee issue must be reached or an "agreed solution" is necessary would be an improvement over the unrealistic call for a "right of return" to Israel itself. | | | The net result for Israel might be characterized as "242-minus." It would compromise Israel´s right to "secure and recognized boundaries" or "defensible borders" that has been the hallmark of U.S. policy from the time of Secretary of State Henry Kissinger through Secretary of State Warren Christopher. |

| | A good legal argument can be made for people moving to areas where they have a strong historical connection, even though it may not be apart of the sovereign state of Israel, it is non the less perfectly legitimate under international law. | | | That original mandate is still valid, and as long the 'territories' are still in dispute, Jews have every legal right to be there. | | | UN Security Council Resolution 242 specifies that Israel must retreat from some territories, and not necessarily all of them. |

| | After the 1967 war, the UN Security Council adopted Resolution 242, which notes the "inadmissability of the acquisition of territory by force," and calls for Israeli withdrawal from lands seized in the war and the right of all states in the area to peaceful existence within secure and recognized boundaries. | | | By calling for recognition of every state in the area, Resolution 242 entailed unilateral Palestinian recognition of Israel without recognition of Palestinian national rights. | | | For many years the Palestinians rejected Resolution 242 because it does not acknowledge their right to national self-determination or to return to their homeland. |
