said that the pro - Pales-
tinian resolutions adopted by
the UN General Assembly
are illegal under the UN
charter and conflict with the
only legal and historic defi-
nition of Palestine in modern
times — that given by the
League of Nations' mandate
in 1922.
Speaking at a press confer-
nce held in conjunction with
the meeting the former un-
dersecratery of state for po-
litical affairs in the Johnson
administration and former
dean of Yale Law School said
the assembly resolutions
have "absolutely no legal or
political effect" on Security
Council resolutions 242 and
338 which "remain the law."
Referring to the League of
Nations' mandate given
Great Britain 52 years ago
Rostow said that throughout
the life of the league "the
word Palestine meant the
territories of what are now
Jordan and Israel and the
lands in dispute between
them.
"This is the only possible
meaning that world politics
and international law can
give to the term Palestine
and Palestinans. Therefore
all the people who live in
that area have the right to
live in that area."
The objective of the PLO
he said is to take over both
Jordan and Israel "and to

and "withhold" the granting
of its annual Pope John
XXIII International Peace
Prize to UNESCO.
Rabbi Arthur Hertzberg,
president of the Congress,
declared, "It is astonishing
that a prize for international
peace activities should be
given to a specialized agency
of the UN which has gone
out of its way to abandon
its concerns with education,
science and culture in order
to engage in extraneous acts
of political coercion and
duress."
