That wouldn't be unprecedented. Heck -- Israel's legal status as an independent state is directly tied to a 1947 resolution in the U.N. General Assembly. It's kind of hard to pretend that "international law" has no place in this kind of matter in 2009.

Having said that, I'm not sure what exactly this would accomplish in the long run. Such a move to "internationalize" Jerusalem would basically give it the same legal status as Antarctica and outer space.

But the declaration does not include the temple mount and east Jerusalem. Ever heard of the 67’ green line ?
