FIRST BRITISH PUBLICATION OF THE UNSCOP REPORT, with revised variant text from the Geneva-published edition of 8 September 1947. With the failure of the Anglo-American Committee of Inquiry (see lots 404-406), the British government requested the General Assembly of the United Nations to form a special committee to investigate the Palestine problem. The UN agreed, composing the committee of representatives from 'neutral' countries, and excluding the five permanent members of the Security Council, including Britain. UNSCOP arrived in Palestine on 15 June 1947. The Arab Higher Committee believed UNSCOP to be pro-Zionist, and so boycotted proceedings, although some members of the AHC did meet the committee in a private capacity. While UNSCOP was in Palestine, the SS Exodus arrived in Haifa with Jewish Displaced Persons seeking to illegally immigrate to Palestine, and some have stated that this positively changed the UN's outlook to support the creation of the state of Israel. UNSCOP's final recommendations delivered on 3 September 1947 at Geneva, supported the termination of the Mandate, with a majority of committee members recommending the partition of Palestine into two separate states, and a minority favouring a federal union with Jerusalem as its capital. On 29 November 1947 the General Assembly adopted Resolution 181, based on the UNSCOP majority plan (with only slight modifications to the proposed recommendations).
