A momentous Conference took place quietly this past weekend with much pomp and ceremony...San Remo, Italy, a small resort town on the border with France where the commemoration of the 90th anniversary of the signing of the San Remo Resolution by the allies in l920 took place-- where the legal rights of Israel and Jerusalem were enshrined in International Law. The allies recognized that Israel has been occupied for 2000 years and made the important decision to reconstitute the land to the Jewish people. Dr. Jacques Gauthier a non Jewish lawyer researched and found through 23 years of legal work that Jerusalem belonged to the Jewish people.
"Reaffirming the importance of the San Remo Resolution of April 25, 1920 - which included the Balfour Declaration in its entirety - in shaping the map of the modern Middle East, as agreed upon by the Supreme Council of the Principal Allied Powers (Britain, France, Italy, Japan and the United States acting as an observer), and later approved unanimously by the League of Nations; the Resolution remains irrevocable, legally binding and valid to this day.
"Emphasizing that the San Remo Resolution of l920 recognized the exclusive national Jewish rights to the Land of Israel under international law, on the strength of the historical connection of the Jewish people to the territory previously known as Palestine.
"Recalling that such a seminal event as the San Remo Conference of l920 has been forgotten or ignored by the community of nations, and that the rights it conferred upon the Jewish people have been unlawfully dismissed, curtailed and denied.
"Asserting that a just and lasting peace, leading to the acceptance of secure and recognized borders between all States in the region, can only be achieved by recognizing the long established rights of the Jewish people under international law."
This declaration gave birth to the "Mandate for Palestine," an historical League of Nations document that laid down the Jewish legal right to settle anywhere in western Palestine, l0,000 square miles the area between the Jordan river and the Mediterranean Sea.
The entire League of Nations...51 member countries...unanimously declared on July 24, l922:
"Whereas recognition has been given to the historical connection of the Jewish people with Palestine and to the grounds for reconstituting their national home in that country."
Jews are in the Land of Israel as of right and not on sufferance.
Also, it is important to point out that political right to self determination as a polity for Arabs, was guaranteed by the same League of Nations in four other mandates - in Lebanon and Syria (The French Mandate), Irag, and later Trans-Jordan (The British Mandate).
Any attempt to negate the Jewish people's right to Palestine-Eretz-Israel, and to deny them access and control over the area designated for the Jewish people by the League of Nations is a serious infringement of international law..
