HL Deb 22 December 1981 vol 426 c407WA
Lord Molloy

asked Her Majesty's Government:

In view of the Israeli Government's decision to annex the Golan in the territory of Syria in violation of international law, what representation will be made by them to the state of Israel and international bodies such as the United Nations and the EEC.

Lord Carrington

The Foreign Ministers of the Ten members of the European Community issued a statement in London on 15th December making clear our opposition to this Israeli decision. We have drawn this to the attention of the Israeli Government, acting as President of the European Community. We have also called on Israel to reconsider her decision. The United Nations Security Council considered the issue on 16th and 17th December and adopted Resolution 497 for which we voted. I am arranging for a copy of this resolution to be placed in the Library of the House.
