2 On p. 42, Mr. Van Dusen misstates the burden of a General Assembly Resolution of July 4, 1967. It did not declare the administrative unification of Jerusalem invalid, but declared against measures which might “change the Status of the City.” GA Res. 2253, July 4, 1967. The same theme dominates GA RES. 2254, July 14, 1967.

3 In a letter to the Secretary-General by Foreign Minister Eban, the Israeli Government said “[t]he resolution presented on July 4 by Pakistan and adopted on the same date evidently refers to measures taken by the Government of Israel on 27 July 1967. The term ‘annexation’ used by supporters of the resolution is out of place. The measures adopted relate to the integration of Jerusalem in the administrative and municipal spheres, and furnish a legal basis for the protection of the Holy Places in Jerusalem.” Official Records Security Council, Suppl. for July, Aug. and Sept., 1967, at 75.
