Syria calls on UN not to recognize any legal status resulting from the illegal Israeli measures

Syria’s permanent representative to the UN in Geneva, Hussam Al-Din Alaa, has argued that the Israeli occupation entity goes ahead with perpetrating acts of aggression against the countries of the region and practices state terrorism against the Palestinian people and citizens of the occupied Syrian Golan, making use of  US and western support.

 

“Israeli repeated attacks against Syria are the most prominent title of the terror-support policy practiced by the Israeli occupation entity during the years of terrorist war on Syria, whether through treating Al-Nusra Front terrorists at the occupation hospitals, or through offering direct support to the attacks of terrorists on the Syrian army’s sites,” Alaa said in a statement at the 46th session of Human Rights Council on the 7th term entitled “Human Rights Status in Palestine and other occupied Arab lands”. 

 

He added that the aggressive acts of the Israeli occupation coincides with the continuity of the suffering of the Syrian citizens in the occupied Golan  as a result of the gross and organized violations of human rights being committed by the occupation authorities since 1967, including the right to education, health, work, food, shelter and freedom of movement and residence.

 

Alaa asserted that Israel’s acts contradict international law and violate UN resolutions, which stipulate that the Israeli decision to impose its laws, jurisdiction and administration on the occupied Syrian Golan was null and void and without international legal effect. 

 

In this context, Alaa stressed that Syria condemns the recent oppression practiced by the Israeli occupation against protest movements of families because of their refusal of setting up the wind turbine project on their properties and lands to provide the settlements with energy.

 

He added that Syria affirms its support for the right of the Palestinian people to establish their independent state on the lands occupied by Israel since 1967, with Jerusalem as its capital, and to guarantee the right of the Palestinians to return home in implementation of International Resolution No. 194. 

 

Alaa concluded by saying  that Syria calls on the UN and member states to adopt steps to put an end to the Israeli occupation of Palestine and the Syrian Golan and not to recognize any legal status resulting from the illegal Israeli measures.
