President Sends Memo on Syria Violations to Arab League
2013-06-21
[An Nahar] President Michel Suleiman
...before assuming office as President, he held the position of commander of the Leb Armed Forces. That was after the previous commander, the loathesome Emile Lahoud, took office as president in November of 1998. Likely the next president of Leb will be whoever's commander of the armed forces, too...
handed the Arab League
...an organization of Arabic-speaking states with 22 member countries and four observers. The League tries to achieve Arab consensus on issues, which usually leaves them doing nothing but a bit of grimacing and mustache cursing...
on Thursday a memo urging warring sides in Syria to respect Leb's illusory sovereignty, two days after taking an unprecedented move in sending a similar memo to the U.N.

Suleiman handed the memo to Ambassador Abdul Rahman al-Solh so that he refers it to Arab League chief Nabil al-Arabi, the state-run National News Agency reported.

It said the document hopes that the vaporous Arab League would take action in compelling the different parties to commit to the respect of Leb's illusory sovereignty and the integrity of its territories.

It also hoped that they would not engage in assaults on both sides of the border.

On Tuesday, Suleiman handed U.N. Special Coordinator for Leb Derek Plumbly a memo that deals with "the violations and attacks carried out by all the warring parties in Syria."
