Saudi Arabia on Tuesday condemned Colombia\u2019s recognition of Israeli sovereignty over the occupied Syrian Golan Heights, calling the move a violation of international law and relevant UN resolutions.<\/p>\n
In a statement, the Saudi Foreign Ministry stressed that the recognition violates the UN Charter, particularly UN Security Council Resolution 497 of 1981, which declared Israel\u2019s imposition of its laws, jurisdiction and administration over the occupied Syrian Golan \u201cnull and void and without international legal effect.\u201d<\/p>\n
It said such positions do not contribute to achieving peace, but instead depart from the broad international consensus on the occupied Syrian Golan, reinforce attempts to impose a fait accompli, and undermine efforts aimed at achieving peace in the region.<\/p>\n
Saudi Arabia reiterated its longstanding position that the Golan Heights are occupied Syrian Arab territory, saying \u201cno measures or decisions seeking to alter its legal status create any rights or legitimacy.\u201d<\/p>\n
It called on Colombia to review its Aug. 10 decision, adhere to international law and UN resolutions, and continue supporting efforts to achieve security, stability, and a just and lasting peace in the region.<\/p>\n
