ABSTRACT
Why did Evatt oppose the line Hood and Atyeo were taking and insist on neutrality? This matter has been raised by Adelman, who concludes that Evatt was anti-Zionist and pro-Arab. His argument is grounded in analysis of Australia’s conduct in UNSCOP and the policy motivations that he deduces to have underlain both Hood’s views and Evatt’s instructions. It is on these grounds that his case must be scrutinised.
