The Unlawful Israeli Annexation of the Occupied Syrian Golan: A Historical and Legal Analysis in the Context of the Ongoing Syrian Armed Conflict

Master thesis | Middle Eastern Studies (MA)

The study takes as point of departure recent political statements of the Israeli prime minister B. Netanyahu about the status of the Occupied Syrian Golan, which are aimed at changing the legal status of this area, as these are uttered in the context of the war in Syria. The thesis examines the weight of these statements through a legal, political and an historical analysis, and how the international community reacted to it. The thesis critically explores the possibilities of international law to respond to this situation.
