A/HRC/22/36 stressed the material, psychological and physical suffering of Syrians as a result of Israel’s arbitrary practices, which violated the Geneva Conventions and customary international humanitarian law. The Government stressed that Israeli practices in the occupied Syrian Golan exceed all legal and moral boundaries. 14. The Government of the Syrian Arab Republic concluded by stating that reaching sustainable peace and stability in the Middle East would require the adoption of measures ensuring the enforcement of all relevant international resolutions, including those of the Human Rights Council, without discrimination or selectivity, as well as the implementation of the Geneva Conventions. 15. On 9 October 2012, the Permanent Mission of Cuba reaffirmed in its note verbale that the acquisition of territory by force was inadmissible under international law and the Charter of the United Nations, and also referred to the applicability of the Fourth Geneva Convention in the occupied Syrian Golan. The Government placed great importance on the efforts made within the framework of the United Nations to bring the occupation by Israel of the Syrian Golan to an end. In its view, Israel continued to violate the human rights of Syrians, including the right to health, in blatant disregard of its obligation as the occupying Power. Israel had to comply with the resolutions adopted by the World Health Organization, the Security Council, the General Assembly and the Human Rights Council regarding the occupied Syrian Golan, and had to withdraw from this area. The Government expressed concern about information relating to the construction by Israel of a wall in the occupied Syrian Golan, from Majdal Shams in the north to Al-Hammi in the south. In this context, the Government of Cuba considered null and without juridical validity or effect all legislative, administrative and other actions that Israel had undertaken or could undertake aiming at modifying the legal status, the physical character and the demographic composition of the occupied Syrian Golan, as well as any measures taken by Israel to apply its jurisdiction and administration in this area. Furthermore, the Government of Cuba condemned the “brutal practices” used by Israel against prisoners connected with the occupation, and repeated its serious concern regarding the inhumane conditions of detention of Syrians held in the occupied Syrian Golan, which led to the deterioration of their physical health and put their lives in danger, in obvious violation of international humanitarian law. The Government demanded that Israel comply, immediately and without conditions, with the Fourth Geneva Convention and apply it with respect to Syrian detainees. The Government reiterated the inalienable right of the Syrian Arab Republic to the occupied Syrian Golan, and demanded the unconditional withdrawal of Israel from it, as well as from all occupied Arab territories. 5
