Human rights in the occupied Syrian Golan
The Human Rights Council,
Deeply concerned at the suffering of the Syrian citizens in the occupied Syrian
Golan due to the systematic and continuous 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 66/80 of 9 December 2011, in which the Assembly declared that Israel had failed
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
