The United Nations General Assembly voted with an overpowering majority in favour of a draft decision asserting Syria’s sovereignty over the occupied Golan Heights and viewing all Israeli procedures in them null and void.
The resolution called on Israel to retreat from the entire occupied Syrian Golan Heights and to comply with the resolutions correlating to them, particularly Resolution No. 497 of 1981, which considers Israel’s decision to impose its laws, jurisdiction and administration on the occupied area null and void.
The resolution repeated that all measures taken by the Israeli government with the purpose of changing the Syrian Golan’s character ineffective and void, and constitute a flagrant violation of international law and the Geneva Convention concerning the protection of civilians in times of war.
