SECTION I

The United Nations and the Palestine Refugees with Special Reference to Lebanon

ANTHONY PARSONS

The Arab-Israeli conflict is almost as old as the United Nations itself and has been intertwined with its development since the General Assembly voted on Partition in 1948. The article traces the involvement of the United Nations General Assembly and Security Council up to the present day, examining how the changing composition of the United Nations has affected the relative importance of the Palestine issue in its deliberations. The change in the language and design of UN resolutions after 1967 and the impact of the United States' veto is also discussed. Focusing on the UN's involvement with the refugees in Lebanon, the article traces the UN's initiatives and analyses the impact they had on events within Lebanon. The final section covers the emergence of the bilateral negotiations after Oslo and questions the extent to which the UN has any role remaining in the settlement of the longest-standing of its concerns.
