The Iraqi Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a statement on the 11th strongly condemning Colombia's decision to recognize Israel's “sovereignty” over the occupied Golan Heights. The statement stressed that the Golan Heights is occupied Syrian territory, and no party has the right to change its legal status or grant any unfounded legitimacy to the occupying Power. This Colombian decision has no legal effect, nor can it change the fact that “the Golan Heights is an inalienable part of Syrian territory.” The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Iraq stated that the recognition of the “sovereignty” of the occupying Power over the occupied territories sets a dangerous precedent and undermines the principles of international law and the Charter of the United Nations. The statement reiterated that Iraq fully supports Syria in maintaining its sovereignty and territorial integrity.
