The Territorial Application of the Two Systems

International Mandates and Trusteeship Systems

Abstract

Perhaps the most remarkable feature of the International Trusteeship System, in contrast to the League Mandates, is the express provision for its application to all the dependent territories of the world. The Covenant had restricted the geographical range of the Mandates System to only „those colonies and territories which as a consequence of the late war“ (1914–1918) had ceased to be under the sovereignty of Germany and Turkey. The Charter, on the other hand, explicitly states that three categories of „territories“ „may“ be placed under the new system:1

  1. (a)

    “territories now held under mandate;

  2. (b)

    territories which may be detached from enemy States as a result of the Second World War;

  3. (c)

    territories voluntarily placed under the system by States responsible for the administration.”

  2. Article 78 of the Charter states that „the trusteehsip system shall not apply to territories which have become Members of the United Nations, relationship among which shall be based on respect for the principle of sovereign equality.“ The use of the term „territories“ is somewhat perplexing since only „States“ (Arts. 2-4) and not „territories“ are elligible to the membership of the U.N.

The Arabs, who formed two-thirds of the population owning 85% land, were to get 40 % of the total area while the Jews, who constituted one-third owning 15% land, were to receive 60% of the total area.

It is, however, difficult to draw a line between „pressure“ or „persuasion“ and „official“ and „non-official“. According to Forrestal, then Secretary of Defense (The Forrestal Diaries, pp. 346-347, 357-358), Felix Frankfurter and Justice Murphy had sent „messages“ to the Philippine delegate urging his vote while the Fire Stone Rubber Co. which had a concession in Liberia exerted pressure on the latter. Kermit Roosevelt („The Partition of Palestine: A Lesson in Pressure Politics,“ The Middle East Journal, Vol. II, January 1948, p. 15) says that an ex-Governor, a prominent Democrat with White House, personally telephoned Haiti urging to vote in favour of partition. Thomas J. Hamilton („Partition of Palestine,“ Foreign Policy Reports, Vol. XXIII, 15 February 1948, pp. 290-291) also holds that Liberia and the Philippines were induced to support the partition. He cites Heneral J. H. Hilldring of the U.S. delegation who observed: „Certainly, we tried as best as we could to persuade other countries of logic and justice of our position.“ Egypt complained that Haiti’s vote had been purchased for $ 10,000 by the U.S.A. „It is clear,“ writes Hamilton, „that the attitude of the United States was „primarily responsible“ for the Assembly’s decision“ (Ibid., p. 295). George Kirk (The Middle East, 1945-1950; Survey of International Affairs, p. 10) says that „powerful Presidential pressure was exerted. „The pressure theory has been challenged by Jewish and orthodox American writers. E. A. Speiser (The United States and the Near East, Cambridge: Harvard Univ. Press, 1952, p. 224) calls it a „wishful thinking, a curious retroactive twist“ but admits that „domestic considerations“ affected U.S. vote and the „government was not itself clear what to do“ (Ibid., p. 224). J. Garcia Grañados, the Guatemalan delegate on the UNSCOP (The Birth of Israel: The Drama as I saw it, New York: A Knopf, 1949, pp. 268-269) rejects the pressure theory by quoting a personal interview with President Truman but says that the U.S. delegation „suggested mildly“ that partition was worthy of support three days before the voting date. Sumner Welles (We Need Not Fail, Boston: Houghton Mifflin, 1948, p. 63) holds that both „direct and indirect pressures“ were exerted by the White House. Considerations of contribution by the pro-Jewish bloc, says F. Williams (Ernest Bevin: Portrait of a Great Englishman, London: Hutchinson, 1952, p. 259) to the Democratic Party funds influenced American policy towards Palestine.
