U.N. worried about Lebanon’s security, report

Share:

Lebanon is in a tense state in part because of Hezbollah’s weapons and Israel’s failure to meet its international obligations, the U.N. secretary-general said.

“Lebanon is currently experiencing a domestic climate of uncertainty and fragility,” wrote U.S. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon in his latest assessment of the situation in Lebanon.

Ban said more work was needed to implement U.N. Security Council resolutions that call on the disarmament of non-state military forces and the integrity of Lebanon’s borders.

On Hezbollah, the secretary-general said the presence of non-Lebanese militias and the “worrisome pattern” of armed violence are posing a lingering threat to stability in the country.

He called on Hezbollah, now a member of Lebanon’s Cabinet, to completely disarm and fully transform into a political party. Its “significant military arsenal creates an atmosphere of intimidation and poses a key challenge to the safety of Lebanese civilians and to the government’s monopoly on the legitimate use of force,” the secretary-general wrote.

Israel must honor its international obligations and put an end to its surveillance flights in Lebanon’s airspace, something Beirut complains is a daily occurrence, Ban wrote. UPI

    All of a sudden the UN secretary General shows concern about Lebanon’s security and stability. When Israel was bombing the hell out of Lebanon, He showed no concern whatsoever. When Israel occupied( and still does ) most of the south, His organization did nothing to ensure Lebanon’s stability and security. His UN troops could not even protect civilians at their own bases. Who is he kidding?
    His organization failed to enforce any of its security resolutions, He now, wants us to believe that He , and his organization care about Lebanon’s security and stability. Had his organization fulfilled its responsibilities, there would have been no need for any resistance ,or any non government armed forces .We have had enough of his hypocrisy ,and the hypocrisy of the so called international community.
    For once ,so we can start believing him, He should show us how he is going to make Israel put an end to its surveillance flights in Lebanon’s airspace. For once , he should show us what His organization would do about Israel’s continuous violations of international laws ,and its interference with the nations communications system.
    Can he and his organization guarantee the sovereignty of Lebanon if the Lebanese are to give up their Arms? I think everyone knows the answer to that.
