Arab unity and Damascus to UN on Colombia
Syria officially confirmed that Colombia's recognition of Israel's sovereignty over the occupied Golan Heights is legally void and contradicts international law and United Nations resolutions, particularly Security Council Resolution 497 of 1981, which considers the imposition of Israeli occupation laws on the Golan to be null and void. Damascus clarified that it is committed to regaining the Golan and that any attempts to alter its legal and political status do not grant Israel any legal right over it. Additionally, the Arab League condemned Colombia's declaration, emphasizing that sovereignty over territories is not acquired through occupation or political positions, and that the legal status of the Golan remains unchanged despite changes in governments. A call was made to the Colombian government to retract its decision, while Turkey condemned the step, deeming it a blatant violation of international law and reaffirming its support for Syria's unity and sovereignty.
