“Land surveying and settlement” in the Occupied Golan Heights

August 7, 2023

The Israeli Occupation Forces took advantage of and exploited the reality that they have controlled the Golan Heights since 1967, some 56 years ago, in order to seize as much land as possible. However, the occupation did not stop at seizing the land of Syrian residents who were forcibly displaced from the Golan Heights to Syria during the 1967 War but the confiscation also extended to the lands which belonged to the Syrian residents of the five villages, who remained in the Golan Heights. As we will observe later in this paper, the occupation seized more than 50% of these lands, which were owned by those residents before the occupation. Those lands were confiscated, and they were disposed of them according to their urban, agricultural, grazing, and other needs.

As international and criminal law scholars, human rights defenders, legal experts and individuals who firmly believe in the rule of law and in the necessity for its respect in times of peace and more so in times of war, we feel the intellectual and moral duty to denounce the grave violations, mystification and disrespect of the most basic principles of the laws of armed conflict and of the fundamental human rights of the entire Palestinian population committed during the ongoing Israeli offensive on the Gaza Strip.
