 If memory serves me correctly the city has had many owners over the past 3 millennium. 
The 1947 protocol intended to keep the city under International control. When Israel announced all of Jerusalem to be their capital in 1980 it was found to be a violation of international law. 
It's complicated, but I don't think you can just issue a mandate and expect everyone to follow.
