Syria has asked the Human Rights Council to hold "Israel" accountable for its persistent abuses of Syrians' human rights in the occupied Syrian Golan, including intensified settlements and violations, theft of land and natural resources, and demographic change techniques.

Syria's Permanent Representative to the United Nations in Geneva, Hussam Eddin Ala, stated in a statement on Friday during the 49th session of the Human Rights Council, "Israeli grave violations in the occupied Palestinian lands, including al-Quds, and in the occupied Syrian Golan, along with the deteriorated humanitarian conditions resulted from repeated Israeli aggressions and blockade carried out against besieged Gaza Strip for the past 15 years remain the most prominent."

“The Israeli entity is still carrying out its grave violations against the Palestinians and Golan’s people, intensifying its settlement, seizing lands, and plundering the natural resources,” Ala added.

The Syrian Ambassador restated Syria's condemnation of the Israeli occupation's unlawful settlement programs aimed at changing the legal and demographic features of the occupied Syrian Golan.

He urged for the non-recognition of any status emerging from the Israeli occupation's illegal measures, as well as the cessation of any procedure that consolidates it.

Ala went on to say, “Syria condemns the occupation and its violations in Golan and calls on the Human Rights Council to document these practices and hold Israeli entity accountable for them."

He went on to say that "Israel's" aggressions would not be carried out without the unwavering support of the West and the United States.

“Syria stresses its firm right to restore Golan completely and categorically refuses the unilateral measures taken by the Israeli entity to consolidate its occupation,” Ala concluded.
