Abstract
This article is the result of research conducted during the visit to the Archives of Yugoslavia, and the Diplomatic Archive of the Serbian Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Belgrade, where the Yugoslav Foreign Office material is kept today. The documents used for this article are mainly those by the Foreign Secretariat of SFRY, Socialist Alliance of Working People of Yugoslavia (SAWPY) and Cabinet of the President Tito. The Yugoslav involvement in the Palestinian problem might be divided into two stages and three levels. The first stage refers to the immediate post World War II period when Yugoslavia, as a member of UNSCOP, was directly involved in UN’s efforts to find a sustainable solution for the future of Palestine. The second stage started after 1955 when Yugoslavia started to implement its new foreign policy which aimed to align it with predominantly third world countries. Such efforts culminated in 1961 when the Non-Aligned Movement was created in Belgrade. The second stage had significantly more substance than the first one: it saw an active Yugoslav role in promoting the rights of the Palestinian refugees, and after the 1967 June war the promotion of the Palestinian people’s right to self-determination and statehood.
