Human Rights Council
Resolution 7/30.
Human rights in the occupied Syrian Golan
The Human Rights Council,
Deeply concerned at the suffering of Syrian citizens in the occupied Syrian
Golan due to the systematic and continued violation of their fundamental and human
rights by Israel since the Israeli military occupation of 1967,
Recalling Security Council resolution 497 (1981) of 17 December 1981,
Recalling also all relevant General Assembly resolutions, the most recent
being resolution 62/110 of 17 December 2007, in which the Assembly declared that
Israel had failed so far to comply with Security Council resolution 497 (1981) and
demanded that Israel withdraw from all the occupied Syrian Golan,
Reaffirming once more the illegality of the decision by Israel of 14 December
1981 to impose its laws, jurisdiction and administration on the occupied Syrian Golan,
which has resulted in the effective annexation of that territory,
Reaffirming the principle of the inadmissibility of the acquisition of territory by
force in accordance with the Charter of the United Nations and the principles of
international law,
Taking note with deep concern of 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 (A/62/360) of 24 September 2007, in which
the Committee referred to the grave deterioration in the human rights situation in the
Occupied Palestinian Territory and the occupied Syrian Golan and, in this connection,
deploring the Israeli settlement in the occupied Arab territories and expressing regret
at the constant refusal of Israel to cooperate with and to receive the Special
Committee,
