Muslim World League condemns Colombia's recognition of Israeli sovereignty over Golan Heights
The Muslim World League has denounced Colombia’s recognition of Israeli sovereignty over the occupied Golan Heights, calling the move a violation of international law.
The Muslim World League has strongly criticized Colombia's recent decision to recognize Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights. The League considers this move a clear violation of international law and relevant United Nations resolutions. Sheikh Dr. Mohammed bin Abdulkarim Al-Issa, the Secretary-General of the Muslim World League, emphasized that this recognition directly contradicts UN Security Council Resolution 497 of 1981.
This resolution explicitly declared Israel's imposition of its laws, jurisdiction, and administration in the Golan Heights as null and void, rendering any such actions legally ineffective. Al-Issa reiterates that the Golan Heights are indeed occupied Syrian Arab land, and any actions to the contrary are invalid, rejected, and strongly condemned.
The League warns that such stances not only clash with the goals of regional peace but also undermine ongoing efforts to achieve a peaceful resolution.
