The Syrian Arab population of the Occupied Syrian Golan have endured persistent human rights violations associated with internal displacement and forced evictions. These violations have occurred as a direct result of Israel’s land policies in its position as the occupying force within the Occupied Syrian Golan. Since its occupation in 1967 the Syrian Golan has been transformed from a thriving Arab community, based on agriculture and labour, to an area dominated by Israeli settlements, military training camps, and tourism. This report documents how this transformation and the land expropriation which took place within the Occupied Syrian Golan contravene both international humanitarian law and international human rights law.
