...no international body included UN and UNSC wont recognize Land grabbing due to war or use of any force since 20s

Save for territory conquered in a defensive war, which is what June 1967 was.

...by the way what about resolution 497 and 1981

As pointed out, UNSC has no judicial powers. It's only an empty political statement.

UNSCR 497 also strikes me as unusual because it declared that Israel's action - applying domestic law and jurisdiction to the Golan - violated "relevant Security Council resolutions" - but without saying what those were. In most cases the specifics will be listed whereas in this case they were not.

UNSC resolution 497 is important as it affirm that when they don't consider political matters even USA and English agree that the french version of resolution is the one which held the spirit of what they discussed and agreed on at the time.

and no even in the defensive war land grabbing is not accepted , the change of territory only accepted if agreement in a political discussion reached not if it gained by military forces.

While Syria is torn apart by the warring of U.S. imperialists and fundamentalists—leaving its children to die of starvation—another country plans to take advantage of the chaos by stealing resources from Syria’s southern region. The theft will be carried out by the most notorious pushers of military hegemony, and they don’t care that it violates international law.

Genie Energy is an American-based oil and gas company with major investors and advisors comprising a who’s who list of war profiteers—Dick Cheney, Rupert Murdoch, Lord Jacob Rothschild, and James Woolsey. The president of their Israeli subsidiary is Efraim “Effi” Eitam, an Israeli military commander who called for expelling the “cancer” of Arabs from Israel.

Together, these warmongers and would-be ethnic cleansers will soon be drilling into a vast oil and gas reserve located in the Syrian territory occupied by Israel since 1967, known as Golan Heights. The move would be in clear violation of international law, specifically the Annex to the Fourth Geneva Convention.

Israeli authorities granted Genie Energy’s subsidiary, Afek Oil and Gas, exclusive petroleum exploration rights in a 153-square-mile region in Golan Heights. In 2015, above-ground geophysical tests discovered the presence of oil and natural gas reserves that could make Israel energy self-sufficient. Afek has already drilled three exploratory wells.

Israel has benefited from its illegal occupation of Syria’s Golan Heights for decades, drawing one-third of its entire water supply from the region and providing a tourist and skiing destination at the Mount Hermon Ski Resort. Despite persistent international pressure, including from the U.S., the occupation continues and will reach a new level with the extraction of fossil fuels.

Rupert Murdoch heralded his involvement in Genie Energy by touting the prosperity and freedom it will bring to the world.
Of course, the war-stricken, starving, desperate people of Syria will never see a shred of that prosperity and security. Murdoch’s Fox “news” channel has been instrumental in pushing war in the Middle East and obfuscating the role played by the U.S. in fomenting the Syrian war, and soon he and his cronies will be reaping the profits.

While they make plans to steal energy resources from illegally occupied Syria, Genie Energy engages in publicity stunts to pre-empt the criticism that will undoubtedly follow. Last Christmas they donated coats and toys to needy families in Newark, New Jersey.

Drilling in Golan Heights is also drawing concerns about its impact to drinking water supplies. Since the reserves are locked up as shale oil, hydraulic fracturing (fracking) would likely be used to extract the fossil fuels. The shale oil is in close proximity to a large aquifer which supplies drinking water to the region; the fracking chemicals and polluted water spilled onto the ground could contaminate this water supply. A temporary restraining order was issued by the Israeli High Court in 2014, but did not last long as moneyed interests won out.

Momentum for the illegal oil drilling of Syrian territory by Murdoch, Cheney and the gang is aided by the assumption that Golan Heights is already part of Israel. Afek Oil and Gas refers to their newfound field simply as “northern Israel.” A prominent Israeli politician, Naftali Bennett, in 2015, called for the world to recognize Golan Heights as Israeli territory, while calling for the expansion of Jewish settlers in the region.

“I want to challenge the entire world,” said Bennett at the 15th annual Herzliya Conference of the Institute for Policy and Strategy. “I want to give the international community an opportunity to demonstrate their ethics. Recognize Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights.”

Dick Cheney, Rupert Murdoch, Jacob Rothschild, and their henchmen have a long tradition of promoting war in the Middle East and exploiting its oil resources. The cabal formed under Genie Energy, led by the unapologetic Arab hater Effie Eitam, appears to have nothing standing in the way of their next conquest in Syria’s Golan Heights.

DISGUSTING!

The Security Council's remit is security, not sovereignty. The U.N.S.C. does not possess judicial powers. Nor, under Article 80 of the Charter, can it deprive the Jews their National Home, as deeded to them by the Ottoman Caliphs and the victorious Allies of WWI. Furthermore, under the mutually-agreed upon post-1967 U.N. Resolution 242, the U.N. agreed that Israel need only return some of the territory it captured, and committed to Israel's existence within secure boundaries. Both Syria and the Palestinian Authority agreed that 242 and 338 were bases of their relationships with Israel. Nobody seems to think Israel is secure without the Golan, not with the history of Syrians using it to shell Israeli civilians.

Once Syria calms down, some sort of peace settlement should be possible between Syria and Israel. Perhaps Israel keeps the Golan, in exchange for Jews' yielding their claims to Syrian-occupied but Jewish-owned property on the Syrian side of the Heights.

(Some readers might squawk about Jews owning property in Syria but it's important to remember that the legal basis isn't sharia but the Ottoman tanzimat-era reforms, which gave citizens equal rights to buy and sell property, regardless of their religion or nationality.)

How many years has passed since Ottomon empire no longer exists? Alot has happened since then...You got your land are killing Palestinians due to your trigger happy nature and your rabid greed is literally pitless! No matter how much you get it is never enough and you are behaving just as your ancestors did with Moses so much he said you ungrateful lot! Dont believe? Read how Moses addressed your ancestors (That is if you are an Israeli not a Caucasian Jew trying to pass as the owner of a land they dont deserve)

2ndly, this isnt about your land or whatever Jews own....Not all Jews are Israeli and not all of their land is Isrraeli state property to go drill as they please! It is called insensitive and inhumane...ESP since they are under war from weapons also supplied and built by Jewish people! How there the religion and ethnicity doesnt come in? So sorry to burst your bubble it does look like Some greedy Jewish people have caused war and are now sucking oil from other people's land....A land they are either forced to live or be buried! While your Jewish companies come in and are not even scratched makes one wonder who exactly are the ISIS working for?
