The majority of UN member states and most international organisations do not accept Jerusalem as Israel's capital, nor Israel's incorporation of East Jerusalem (Jerusalem Law).[3] Embassies are generally located in Tel Aviv.
The position of the United Nations on the question of Jerusalem is contained in General Assembly resolution 181(II), subsequent resolutions of the General Assembly and the Security Council concerning this question. A total of six UN Security Council resolutions on Israel have denounced or declared invalid Israel's annexation of the city. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1947_UN_Partition_Plan

The UN Security Council, in UNSC resolution 478, affirmed that the enactment of the "basic law" by Israel constituted a violation of international law and does not affect the continued application of the Geneva Convention relative to the Protection of Civilian Persons in Time of War, of 12 August 1949, in the Palestinian and other Arab territories occupied since June 1967, including Jerusalem. It also declared that the 1980 Jerusalem Law declaring unified Jerusalem, including annexed East Jerusalem, as Israel's "eternal and indivisible" capital was "null and void and must be rescinded forthwith" (14-0-1, with United States abstaining). The resolution advised member states to withdraw their diplomatic representation from the city as a punitive measure.http://imeu.net/news/article005891.shtml
