 KOFI
ANNAN: URGENT
THREE-PRONGED
SOLUTION in
LEBANON
(MaximsNews.com,

UN/
- 27 July 2006
-
Kofi
Annan yesterday called for a
three-part solution in
the “horrendous and
dangerous” Lebanon
crisis: an immediate
cessation of hostilities
and wide-ranging
political and economic
commitments to end the
killing and keep the
situation from
worsening.
The
Secretary-General warned
that there remains
“great potential”
for further escalation
in the conflict and
therefore an immediate end
of hostilities is
essential.
“A
cessation of
hostilities, a political
framework, the
deployment of an
international force, and
agreement on a
reconstruction programme
would give us the
beginnings of a way out
of this crisis,” he told
a high-level conference
in Rome.
“The
death and destruction we
have witnessed in the
past two weeks,
including yesterday’s
tragic killing of UN
peacekeepers, compels
this conference to send
a strong message, and to
speak with one voice. We
must say, to the people
of Lebanon, to the people of
Israel, to people throughout
the wider
Middle East, that we will do our
utmost to help them find
a path towards peace.”
“I
call on Hezbollah to
stop its deliberate
targeting of Israeli
population centres. And
I call on
Israel
to end its bombardments,
blockades and ground
operations. A temporary
cessation of hostilities
would offer crucial
hours and days for
essential humanitarian
tasks, including the
distribution of relief
aid and the evacuation
of non-combatants and
the wounded.”
He
said an international
force would have a vital
role to play, helping in
the short-term with the
humanitarian operation,
and then to assist the
Lebanon Government to
implement Security
Council resolutions and
extend its authority and
disarm all militias.
An
international force
could only work with the
consent of the
Government and all
“Lebanese parties”
he said.
A
political framework is
necessary, said Annan,
to achieve any chance of
“a longer-term process
of enduring peace.”
“Such
a framework should
address several issues,
including captives,
delineation of
Lebanon's borders and a
mechanism for monitoring
and guaranteeing its
implementation,” he
said, while stressing
that wider regional
involvement was needed
for any long-term
solution.
“We
must bring our best
ideas together into a
coherent, achievable
package that all parties
can endorse… And for
solutions to last, it
will also require the
constructive engagement
of the countries of the
region, including
Syria
and Iran." ~~~
