Justice Parliamentary Committee Urges Govt. to Amend Decree 6433

W460

The Justice and Administration Parliamentary Committee “holds the resigned government fully responsible to convene immediately and take a decision amending Decree 6433 under penalty of constitutional accountability for dereliction of national duty,” the head of the committee, MP Georges Adwan, said on Tuesday.

“We urgently call on it to do so before it’s too late and within the required deadlines, and to take all measures to inform the U.N. of Lebanon’s stance and its modifications,” Adwan added, following a meeting for the committee.

The changes are “documented and verified according to science and law,” the lawmaker went on to say.

The amendment of the decree would expand Lebanon’s maritime border area that is disputed with Israel by 1,430 square kilometers.

Israel’s energy minister has described Lebanon’s moves as unilateral and warned that Israel would take counter-measures.

Aoun will not sign the Decree for the sole reasons of ensuring his Son-In-Law will be the next president and the sanctions against Bassil will be removed. So good luck with that. These people continue to rob and still and the sheep continue to follow them.

Of course you are right. But it applies both ways: Also the only reason Adwan is pushing this matter is to discredit Aoun. He doesnt care this much for the good of the country...

They all use every file for their own political interest.

What these politicians don't understand, or don't want to understand, is that every single day they procrastinate in reaching an agreement on the maritime border with Israel, is one day less of illegal income flowing into their corrupt pockets.
