74/90.
The occupied Syrian Golan
The General Assembly,
Having considered the report of the Special Committee to Investigate Israeli
Practices Affecting the Human Rights of the Palestinian People and Other Arabs of
the Occupied Territories, 1
Deeply concerned that the Syrian Golan, occupied since 1967, has been under
continued Israeli military occupation,
Recalling Security Council resolution 497 (1981) of 17 December 1981,
Recalling also its previous relevant resolutions, the most recent of which was
resolution 73/100 of 7 December 2018,
Having considered the report of the Secretary-General submitted in pursuance
of resolution 73/100, 2
Recalling its previous relevant resolutions in which, inter alia, it called upon
Israel to put an end to its occupation of the Arab territories,
Reaffirming once more the illegality of the decision of 14 December 1981 taken
by Israel to impose its laws, jurisdiction and administration on the occupied Syrian
Golan, which has resulted in the effective annexation of that territory,
Reaffirming that the acquisition of territory by force is inadmissible under
international law, including the Charter of the United Nations,
