Atallah: Peace agreements must safeguard Lebanon's rights

Deputy Ghassan Atallah stated that any agreement signed in the name of peace must prioritize protecting Lebanon’s rights, not just end the conflict. He emphasized that vague promises and ambiguous phrases, lacking clear mechanisms and guarantees, could lead to procrastination and delay. He pointed to the experience of the Taif Agreement, where the Syrian withdrawal from Lebanon was not implemented within a set timeframe. He stressed that true peace requires respecting sovereignty, safeguarding rights, and holding accountable those who committed crimes—not simply ignoring justice or relinquishing it.
