The United Nations Special Committee on Palestine (UNSCOP) was created on 15 May 1947 in response to a request by the United Kingdom government, for the General Assembly to make recommendations concerning the future government of Palestine. The British government had also recommended the establishment of a special committee to prepare a report for the General Assembly. The General Assembly adopted the recommendation to set up the UNSCOP to investigate the cause of the conflict in Palestine, and, if possible, devise a solution. UNSCOP was made up of representatives of 11 nations (Australia, Canada, Czechoslovakia, Guatemala, India, Iran, Netherlands, Peru, Sweden, Urugay and Yugoslavia).

The request came following the failure of the predecessor commission: the Anglo-American Committee of Inquiry on Palestine and the Morrison Grady plan.

The submitted report supported the termination of the British Mandate in Palestine, and contained a majority proposal for a Plan of Partition of Palestine into two independent states with Economic Union   as well as a minority proposal for a Plan for one Federal union with Jerusalem as its capital  

On 29 November 1947 the General Assembly adopted Resolution 181, based on the UNSCOP majority plan (with slight modifications to the proposed recommendations, including modifications to the border lines of the two future states the Jewish and the Arab).
