resolutions adopted by the League of Arab States on this issue, in which the Arab countries
reaffirmed their support for the request of the Syrian Arab Republic to restore the Golan Heights
in accordance with the peace process and the provisions of international law, including that
which had been established in the framework of the Madrid Peace Conference of 1991, in
particular resolution 6612 (125) of 4 March 2006, in which the Arab League has rejected all
measures taken by the Israeli occupation authorities that aim at changing the legal, physical and
demographic status of the occupied Syrian Golan, and considers them as null and void and in
breach of international conventions and of the Charter and resolutions of the United Nations. At
its ordinary session, held at the ministerial level in Cairo in September 2006, the Council of the
League of Arab States reaffirmed the Arab countries’ solidarity with the Syrian Arab Republic
and their support for the Arab citizens in the Golan in their efforts to preserve their land and
Arab Syrian identity, and condemned all practices that constituted a flagrant violation of their
rights. Morocco, therefore, supports all resolutions and decisions of the United Nations
denouncing the Israeli practices which violate human rights in the occupied Arab territories and
which aim at suppressing the identity of its people.

Finally, by letter dated 5 January 2007, the International Labour Office (ILO) drew
attention to paragraphs 52 to 59, 110 and 122 of the Appendix to the Director-General’s report to
the International Labour Conference in 2006, entitled “The situation of workers of the Occupied
Arab Territories”, which the ILO has always considered to include the occupied Syrian Golan.
