Lord Chelwoodasked Her Majesty's Government:
Whether Security Council Resolution 465 of March 1980, with particular reference to paragraphs 5 and 6, is still regarded as valid and binding following the annexation by Israel of the Golan Heights; and whether this Resolution was passed unanimously.
§ Lord TrefgarneHer Majesty's Government still regard paragraphs 5 and 6 of Security Council Resolution 465 as valid. We strongly deplore the extention of Israel's law, jurisdiction and administration to the Golan Heights, and demonstrated this by our support for Resolution 497. This extension, which is tantamount to annexation, is contrary to international law and therefore invalid in our eyes. Resolution 465 was adopted unanimously.
