Honorable
Fouad Siniora
Prime
Minister of
The Republic
of Lebanon
Dear Prime
Minister
The Time has come to request
expansion of UNIFIL in Lebanon under Chapter 7 to protect the civil
society, monitor the borders and start the process of disarmament of all
militias in Lebanon,
i.e. full implementation of UNSC
Resolutions 1559 and 1701.
The World
Council of the Cedars Revolution (WCCR) extends to you and to your
democratically elected Government and to the people of Lebanon, our
condolences, for the loss of a soldier of the Cedars Revolution Walid
Eido MP, his son Khaled and eight innocent bystanders. The total
disregard for human life in Lebanon has reached the depths of despair.
The (WCCR) sees Lebanese unity as
fully supporting of your duly elected Government, the constitution of
Lebanon, the democratic institutions and the army.
In addition to this support, The
(WCCR) makes its utmost and urgent request to you and your government,
that you immediately request from the United Nations Security Council,
its assistance in dealing with the root cause problems in Lebanon today,
under a Chapter 7 provision for UNIFIL with the Lebanese army coming
under UNIFIL command, to implement the following strategy;
1.
Expand
the UNIFIL forces to deploy along the Lebanese borders to prevent any
violations of UNSCR Resolution 1701.
2.
The
UNIFIL forces to deploy across the
Lebanese State to secure the
civil society from the abyss that is being inflicted upon it.
3.
The
UNIFIL forces to start a program of disarming all militias and
Palestinian camps in
Lebanon, In accordance with UNSCR 1559, and UNSCR 1701.
4.
Restart
the dialogue between the Lebanese by opening up the parliament of
Lebanon
immediately under the security of UNIFIL. The parliament is a
representative of the people of Lebanon and where is there a better
place to restart the dialogue?
5.
The
priority of the government agenda should be the bi-elections and
replacement of the members of parliament who have been assassinated.
The goal of achieving the
protection of democracy, civil society and its institutions in Lebanon,
at this time, can only be achieved with the assistance of implementing
UNSC Chapter 7 capabilities through UNIFIL.
Mr Prime Minister, this is not
only a war that we have to win, but it is a war that we absolutely
cannot afford to lose. We strongly advise that you make the request,
now, while you still can and the UNSC is waiting for you to do so.
The World Council of the Cedars
Revolution
Joseph P. Baini
World Council Chairman
