Sovereign choices within constitution
Lebanese Prime Minister Naufal Suleiman emphasized that the full implementation of the Taif Agreement is essential for the stability of the state. He stressed that sovereign decisions, such as those related to war and security, must be made within constitutional institutions. He explained that the Lebanese Constitution, which is celebrating its hundredth anniversary, reflects the organization and limitation of authority. Its goal is to sustain Lebanon’s unity and prevent diversity from turning into a conflict over power. He pointed out that the Taif Agreement transferred authority to the Council of Ministers and established parity between Muslims and Christians. However, its implementation has not achieved all its objectives, particularly the abolition of political sectarianism and decentralization. He called for constitutional development and institutional reform to ensure Lebanon's sovereignty over its entire territory and to impose the state's authority without militias. He underscored that preserving the constitution requires a strong, legal state capable of establishing a more stable future.
