Representing the hopes and aspirations of many millions of Lebanese throughout the Diaspora 2300 M Street NW, Washington, DC 20037 7th of September 2007 Open Letter H.E Nabieh Berri, Speaker of The Lebanese Parliament and Members of The Lebanese parliament Beirut, Lebanon RE: The Profile of the Next President of Lebanon Must Implement UNSC Resolutions
Dear Honorable Speaker and members of Lebanese Parliament,
Lebanon, as a multicultural society, is uniquely positioned as the only nation in the Middle-Eastern Arab World with a constitution that guarantees democratic rights and principles. These democratic rights are now in grave danger as a result of years of foreign occupations, the presence of armed militias and terrorist organizations and a huge Palestinian refugee population that has harbored terrorist groups sworn to the destruction of democracy. Therefore, the next President of Lebanon must adhere to the following principles.
1) The next President of Lebanon must be selected from those who put their lives on the line and participated as stakeholders in the Cedars Revolution on the 14th of March 2005.
2) The next President of Lebanon must declare, before selection and nomination, to be completely clean and without any ties to the Syrian and Iranian regimes, nor any other regime; and must not have any association with their proxy terrorist organizations in Lebanon, such as Hezbollah.
3) The next President of Lebanon must demonstrate, before nomination and election, total opposition to Syrian/Iranian occupation of Lebanon and must be prepared to defend Lebanon at all costs.
4) The next President of Lebanon must be totally committed to the full implementation of UNSC Resolutions 1559 and 1701 within the six year Presidential term. Such a commitment includes disarming all militias and terrorist organizations on Lebanese soil. Negotiations and terms of disarmament shall be within a framework as determined by the United Nations Security Council.
5) The next President of Lebanon must present a blueprint for the implementation of UNSCR 1680 which will finally, permanently and effectively establish the Lebanese – Syrian border demarcation and insist on an exchange of Ambassadorial representation for each country.
6) The next President of Lebanon must be willing to follow up and ensure that Justice is carried out and prosecutions executed upon those who are found guilty of assassinations of Former Prime Minister Rafic Hariri and others. For and on behalf of the World Council of the Cedars Revolution
