UN General Assembly demands Israel fully withdraw from Syrian Golan
Syria-Israel-UN, Politics, 12/2/2005

The UN General Assembly demanded Israel to fully withdraw from occupied Syrian Golan to the line of 4th June 1967, in accordance with the related UN resolutions.

The assembly declared in a decision adopted during its session held Thursday that Israel refused to implement any UN resolution, including resolution no 497, which stipulate for total withdrawal from the Syrian Golan.

Occupying the Syrian Golan and imposing the Israeli will and laws there are null and have no legitimacy at all, the decision said.

The assembly called upon all related sides to resume the peace process in the region, calling upon Israel to resume negotiations on the Syrian and Lebanese tracks, as well as respect all commitments and contracts realized during the last negotiations between the two sides.

The assembly expressed deep worry that Israel has not pulled out of the Syrian Golan yet, noting that this "contradicts the international legitimacy as well as the UN resolutions." Majority of the assembly's members stressed in the decision that building Israeli settlements or other activities on Golan's land are not legitimate.
