A/HRC/22/36 started in 1991. Furthermore, the Syrian Arab Republic had declared, in all international forums, its full commitment to the relevant international resolutions and had called for their implementation, particularly Security Council resolutions 242 (1967), 338 (1973) and 497 (1981), as well as for the implementation of the principle of land for peace, in order to ensure full withdrawal by Israel from all of the occupied Syrian Golan to the line of 4 June 1967. 7. In its note verbale, the Government of the Syrian Arab Republic deplored construction by Israel of a separation wall, which will be four kilometres long and eight metres high near the ceasefire line, opposite the occupied village of Majdal Shams, on the pretext that the wall would prevent Palestinians and Syrians from crossing the ceasefire line and entering the village. Within this context, the Government referred to the killing and injury of peaceful demonstrators by Israeli soldiers during the commemoration of Nakba on 15 May 2011, near the ceasefire line with the occupied Syrian Golan, as well as the commemoration of Naksa on 5 June 2011 on the Syrian side of the ceasefire line. Both incidents were detailed in the report of the Secretary-General to the Human Rights Council (A/HRC/19/46). 8. In its note verbale, the Government of the Syrian Arab Republic referred to Human Rights Council resolution 19/14, in which the Council expressed deep concern about the findings included in the report of the Special Committee to Investigate Israeli Practices Affecting the Human Rights of the Palestinian People and Other Arabs of the Occupied Territories, deplored the Israeli settlements in the occupied Arab territories, and expressed regret at the constant refusal of Israel to cooperate with and to receive the Special Committee. The Government also condemned the campaigns conducted by Israel to promote settlement building in the occupied Syrian Golan, the latest of being the “Come to Golan” campaign in December 2010, aimed at bringing more Israeli settler families to the occupied Syrian Golan. The Government also condemned the establishment of a new site for Israeli tourism near the settlement of It’am, and the development of “tourist cities” in the al-Batiha region, particularly in the area of Tal Sayadin on the eastern shore of Lake Tiberias. It reiterated its condemnation of the organization of tourist trips by global Jewish organizations to the occupied Syrian Golan, the promotion of settlements and the development of infrastructure to service those settlements. The Government noted that such actions clearly demonstrated Israel’s disregard for peace and the decisions of the Security Council and the General Assembly, such as General Assembly resolution 66/80, in which the Assembly called on Israel to desist from changing the physical character, demographic composition, institutional structure and legal status of the occupied Syrian Golan, in particular to desist from the establishment of settlements. 9. The Government of the Syrian Arab Republic condemned all Israeli practices and conduct in the occupied Syrian Golan, which constituted “flagrant violations” of Security Council resolution 497 (1981) and General Assembly resolution 66/225. The Government referred to recent Israeli media reports, in the newspapers Maariv and Calcalist, of Israel’s intention to establish and expand a wind farm in the occupied Syrian Golan. The Government affirmed that the project was being carried out in cooperation with Israeli and foreign companies, namely Mei Golan, Multimatrix and the United States-based corporation AES, and urged Member States to refuse to import natural and manufactured products from the occupied territories, in accordance with their obligations under international law, and to reaffirm the need for Israel to respect international law. 10. In its note verbale, the Government of the Syrian Arab Republic also deplored the fact that, in March 2012, Israel had prevented Syrian farmers from transporting their crop from the occupied Golan to other parts of the Syrian Arab Republic, in violation of the agreement between the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) and Israel.
