Does An Israeli Have a Chance to Win International Judgeship at EIV

BY SAUL CARSON

(Copyright, 1965, JTA, Inc.)

UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. —
There is a top United Nations posi-
tion open right now. The Security
Council and the General Assembly
must elect somebody to fill a va-
Caney on the 15-member Interna-
tional Court of Justice. One of the
court's members, Judge Abdel
Hamid Badawi of Egypt • died
Aug. 4. Someone must be picked
to fill his post until his last term
would have expired, Feb. 5, 1967.
Is it possible that an Israeli might
be put into that position?
Israel has never had a member
oD the International Court. The
Arabs have always had one mem-
ber on the world court. Is there
such a thing as an "Arab seat" on
the court?
Members of the court are, of-
ficially, selected without regard
to nationality. That, of course,
is pure fiction. All five perma-
nent members of the Security
Council must be represented, so
there is always someone from
the United States, Britain,
France, the Soviet Union and
China (Nationalist, of course).

But there are 10 other seats.
The only persons eligible for
election are those nominated by
national groups appointed by gov-

ernments which are parties to the
Court's statutes — meaning such
states that have put themselves
on record as accepting the rulings
of the Court. Israel is such a state.
If, let us say, the Israel Bar As-
Sedation—or some other group
appointed for that task by the Is-
rael Government—were to nomi-
nate someone to membership on
the Court, that person would be

eligible.

In accordance with the Charter,

the Court is one of the six organs
major bodies of the United Na-
tions; the others are the General

-



Assembly, the Security Council,

the Economic and Social Council,
the Trusteeship Council, and the

Secretariat, personified by the Sec-
retary-General. Except for the As-
sembly, there is not a single Israeli
on any of the Councils, there is
nr, Israeli on the Court, and, of
course, no Israeli has ever held the
post of Secretary-General. Along
with all other member states, Is-
rael is represented in the Assem-
bly. But Israel has never even been
nominated for the presidency of the
Assembly. Arabs have headed the
Assembly, have headed the Secur-
ity Council, have headed every one
of the other Councils.

One is only asking questions
at this point. Why have Arabs
been elected and never an Is-
raeli? Some diplomats might re-
sort to another fiction, that of
"geographic r e p r esentation."
They might say that Arabs are
chosen because they are repre-
sentatives of the Middle East.
So, indeed, they are. But does
the Middle East include also
Israel? It doesn't, as far as most
of the Arab states are concerned
—since, to them, Israel does not
exist at all. But must Arab in-
terpretation of history and of
geography be accepted by the
United Nations? In most re-
spects, the UN does reject the
Arab thesis regarding the non-
existence of Israel. Why not,
then, in regard to membership
on, and/or presidency of, the
major organs?
There is ample time for filling
that void as far as the Court is
concerned. Judge Badawi died

Ohio to Finance Buses
for Religious Schools

CINCINNATI (JTA) — The Ohio
State Legislature has passed a
so-called "Fair Bus" bill which
provides for state financing of bus
transportation for pupils at pri-
vate and parochial schools, which
has been opposed by many Jewish
and Protestant groups on the
grounds that it violates the princi-
ple of church-state separation.
A statewide Committee of Ohio-
ans Against the Bus Bill includes
among its members Rabbi Mur-
ray Blackman, of the Jewish Com-
munity Relations Council of this
city; and Harold Goldstein of the
Ohio Conference of Jewish Com-
munity Relations Committees. The
Ohio branch of the American Civil
Liberties Union announced this
weekend it will challenge the new
measure in the courts, not merely
as a "friend of the court" but as
direct plaintiff.

time during the next session of the
General Assembly. That election
cannot take place before Novem-
ber. Under the rules, the Sec'- e-
tary-General must send letters to
all governments who adhere to the
Court's rulings, at least three
months before an election, "invit-
ing" them to submit nominations.
He will send that letter this month.

in the past or has now. Judge
Badawi was, apparently, quite
notable in his profession. That
fact became apparent when every
member of the Security Council
made it his business to eulogize
the deceased.
There is little doubt that, if an
Israeli were to be nominated, he
could be elected—if both the United
States and the Soviet Union would
back him. One would take it for
granted that the Arabs would vote
against an Israeli, but they have
only one vote in the Security Coun-

Insult to Arthur Goldberg

LISBON (JTA) — Diario Dema-
nho, the party newspaper of Portu-
guese Premier Salazar, published
an apology for an editorial describ-
ing Arthur J. Goldberg as "a re-
pented Marxist Jew who today just
confesses Socialist sympathies."
The denunciation of the new
chief United States delegate to the
United Nations evoked resentment
in United States Embassy circles in
Lisbon.
(President Johnson's press sec-
retary, Bill D. Moyers, on Tuesday
denied reports that the President
had urged Arthur Goldberg to
leave the high court for his UN
post by promising him the nomina-
tion for Vice President in 1968.
Moyers said the President "offer-
ed Goldberg nothing except a
chance to serve his country in an
almost impossible job. No politics
was discussed. This is a categorical
denial.")
