Syria Calls on UN High Commissioner for Human Rights to Warn of Danger of Trump’s Golan Declaration

National

DAMASCUS, (ST)- Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates on Wednesday sent a letter to the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights Michelle Bachelet, urging her to adopt an equivocal stance warning of danger of the US President Donald Trump’s Golan declaration on the international legal system that guarantees the rights of the people of occupied Syrian Golan.

According to the ministry, the Commissioner’s stance should stress the content of the annually adopted Human Rights Council’s Resolutions, the latest of which are 40/24 and 40/21 issued on March 22, 2019 on the Israeli settlements in the occupied Palestinian lands and the occupied Syrian Golan and on human rights situation in the occupied Golan.

 Resolution 40/21 stresses the legal responsibilities of the occupation authorities to respect the human rights of the people of occupied Syrian Golan and calls on the occupation authorities to stop their oppressive practices against Golan people and refrain from taking any legislative and administrative measures aiming to change the legal status of occupied Golan because they are a flagrant violation of the international law and the Geneva Fourth Convention and have no legal effect. The resolution also affirms the right of hundreds of thousands of displaced Golan people to return to their lands and restore their properties.  

The letter affirmed that President Trump’s declaration that recognizes “Israel’s Sovereignty” over the occupied Syrian Golan is a flagrant aggression against the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Syrian Arab Republic and it is a blatant violation of the UN Charter and the International Law.
