2.
Also declares that the Israeli decision of 14 December 1981 to impose its
laws, jurisdiction and administration on the occupied Syrian Golan is null and void

3.
Reaffirms its determination that all relevant provisions of the Regulations
annexed to the Hague Convention of 1907, 3 and the Geneva Convention relative to
the Protection of Civilian Persons in Time of War, of 12 August 1949,2 continue to
apply to the Syrian territory occupied by Israel since 1967, and calls upon the parties
thereto to respect and ensure respect for their obligations under those instruments in
all circumstances;

and its de facto annexation constitute a stumbling block in the way of achieving a
just, comprehensive and lasting peace in the region;

resolutions;
7.
Calls upon all the parties concerned, the co-sponsors of the peace process
