Qouyumjian: UN presence does not breach sovereignty

The head of the External Relations Department of the Lebanese Forces Party confirmed that the presence of UN forces in Lebanon does not constitute a violation of sovereignty. He pointed out that supporting the state and developing its capabilities are the key to controlling borders and ensuring security. He explained that any expansion of the international forces' powers would require a mandate that permits the use of force. Currently, the goal is to maintain the UN presence to support stability after the UNIFIL mission concludes, while emphasizing that Lebanon still needs the support of international forces to strengthen control over its security and national sovereignty.
