United Nations Security Council Resolution 497

The Security Council resolution 497 of the UN Security Council ( 17 December 1981) demanded Israel to make its annexation of the Golan Heights back.

The main message of the resolution is the finding that " the Israeli decision, its laws, to use his judicial system and its administration in the occupied Syrian Golan Heights is null and void and without international legal effect " ( section 1).

The resolution also emphasizes that the Fourth Geneva Convention on the protection of civilians in times of war in the territory of since June 1967 Israeli-occupied Syrian territory is still valid.
