The San Remo Conference, 1922
------------------------------------------------------------------------
"The San Remo Conference decided on April 24, 1920 to assign the
Mandate
[for Palestine] under the League of Nations to Britain. The terms of
the
Mandate were also discussed with the United States which was not a
member of the League. An agreed text was confirmed by the Council of
the
League of Nations on July 24, 1922, and it came into operation in
September 1923."
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Text of the do***ent:
The Council of the League of Nations:
"Whereas the Principal Allied Powers have agreed, for the purpose of
giving effect to the provisions of Article 22 of the Covenant of the
League of Nations, to entrust to a Mandatory selected by the said
Powers
the administration of the territory of Palestine, which formerly
belonged to the Turkish Empire, within such boundaries as may be fixed
by them; and
Whereas the Principal Allied Powers have also agreed that the
Mandatory
should be responsible for putting into effect the declaration
originally
made on November 2nd, 1917, by the Government of His Britannic
Majesty,
and adopted by the said Powers, in favour of the establishment in
Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people, it being clearly
understood that nothing should be done which might prejudice the civil
and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine,
or
the rights and political status enjoyed by Jews in any other country;
and
Whereas recognition has thereby been given to the historical connexion
of the Jewish people with Palestine and to the grounds for
reconstituting their national home in that country;
and
Whereas the Principal Allied Powers have selected His Britannic
Majesty
as the Mandatory for Palestine; and
Whereas the mandate in respect of Palestine has been formulated in the
following terms and submitted to the Council of the League for
approval; and
Whereas His Britannic Majesty has accepted the mandate in respect of
Palestine and undertaken to exercise it on behalf of the League of
Nations in conformity with the following provisions; and
Whereas by the aforementioned Article 22 (paragraph 8), it is provided
that the degree of authority, control or administration to be
exercised
by the Mandatory, not having been previously agreed upon by the
Members
of the League, shall be explicitly defined by the Council of the
League
of Nations;
Confirming the said Mandate, defines its terms as follows:
*Article 1*.
The Mandatory shall have full powers of legislation and of
administration, save as they may be limited by the terms of this
mandate.
*Article 2.*
The Mandatory shall be responsible for placing the country under such
political, administrative and economic conditions as will secure the

and the development of self-governing institutions, and also for
safeguarding the civil and religious rights of all the inhabitants of
Palestine, irrespective of race and religion.
*Article 3.*
The Mandatory shall, so far as cir***stances permit, encourage local
autonomy.
*Article 4.*
An appropriate Jewish agency shall be recognized as a public body for
the purpose of advising and cooperating with the Administration of

establishment of the Jewish national home and the interests of the
Jewish population in Palestine, and, subject always to the control of
the Administration, to assist and take part in the development of the
country.
The Zionist Organization, so long as its organization and constitution

such agency. It shall take steps in consultation with His Britannic
Majesty's Government to secure the cooperation of all Jews who are
willing to assist in the establishment of the Jewish national home.
*Article 5.*
The Mandatory shall be responsible for seeing that no Palestine
territory shall be ceded or leased to, or in any way placed under the

4, close settlement by Jews on the land, including State lands and
waste
lands not required for public purposes.

or usage in the Ottoman Empire, shall not be applicable in Palestine.
Unless the Powers whose nationals enjoyed the aforementioned
privileges
and immunities on August 1st, 1914, shall have previously renounced
the
right to their re-establishment, or shall have agreed to their
non-application for a specified period, these privileges and
immunities
shall, at the expiration of the mandate, be immediately re-established
in their entirety or with such modifications as may have been agreed
upon between the Powers concerned.
*Article 9.*
The Mandatory shall be responsible for seeing that the judicial system
established in Palestine shall assure to foreigners, as well as to
natives, a complete guarantee of their rights.

Palestine, the extradition treaties in force between the Mandatory and
other foreign Powers shall apply to Palestine.

public works, services and utilities, and to develop any of the
natural
resources of the country, in so far as these matters are not directly
undertaken by the Administration. Any such arrangements shall provide
that no profits distributed by such agency, directly or indirectly,
shall exceed a reasonable rate of interest on the capital, and any
further profits shall be utilized by it for the benefit of the country
in a manner approved by the Administration.
*Article 12.*
The Mandatory shall be entrusted with the control of the foreign
relations of Palestine, and the right to issue exequaturs to consuls

*Article 13.*
All responsibility in connexion with the Holy Places and religious
buildings or sites in Palestine, including that of preserving existing
rights and of securing free access to the Holy Places, religious
buildings and sites and the free exercise of wor****p, while ensuring
the
requirements of public order and decorum, is assumed by the Mandatory,

in this Mandate shall be construed as conferring upon the Mandatory
authority to interfere with the fabric or the management of purely
Moslem sacred shrines, the immunities of which are guaranteed.

A special Commission shall be appointed by the Mandatory to study,
define and determine the rights and claims in connection with the Holy
Places and the rights and claims relating to the different religious

and
the functions of this Commission shall be submitted to the Council of
the League for its approval, and the Commission shall not be appointed
or enter upon its functions without the approval of the Council.
*Article 15.*
The Mandatory shall see that complete freedom of conscience and the
free
exercise of all forms of wor****p, subject only to the maintenance of
public order and morals are ensured to all. No discrimination of any
kind shall be made between the inhabitants of Palestine on the ground
of
race, religion or language. No person shall be excluded from Palestine
on the sole ground of his religious belief.
The right of each community to maintain its own schools for the
education of its own members in its own language, while conforming to
such educational requirements of a general nature as the
Administration
may impose, shall not be denied or impaired.

The Mandatory shall be responsible for exercising such supervision
over
religious or eleemosynary bodies of all faiths in Palestine as may be

ground
of his religion or nationality.

forces necessary for the preservation of peace and order, and also for
the defence of the country, subject however, to the supervision of the
Mandatory, but shall not use them for purposes other than those above
specified save with the consent of the Mandatory. Except for such
purposes no military, naval or air forces shall be raised or
maintained
by the Administration of Palestine.
Nothing in this article shall preclude the Administration of Palestine
from contributing to the cost of the maintenance of the forces of the
Mandatory in Palestine.

railways

The above statistic proves two things: (1) That the Jews did not steal
or take away any Arab land before the 1948 war, and (2) That Jewish
farms, even on the crappy land that the Arabs sold the Jews, were
three times as productive per dunam as Arab farms (See the bottom line
in red and figure it out.)
