LEBANESE PRESIDENT APPEALS FOR SUPPORT TO ASSIST HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS
OF SYRIAN REFUGEESNew York, Sep 24 2013 10:00PMLebanese President
Michel Sleiman today called on United Nations Member States to boost
their assistance to the hundreds of thousands of Syrians that have
fled the crisis in their country, while urging for a political
solution to end the conflict.

Calling the Syrian refugee crisis "the most pressing and biggest
burden" facing <"http://gadebate.un.org/68/lebanon">Lebanon, Mr.
Sleiman said his country's resources have been stretched to their
capacity, with more than one fourth of Lebanon's population now made
up of Syrian refugees.

According to the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), as of
August this year, Lebanon was hosting more than 700,000 Syrian
refugees.

While he thanked countries that had pledged donations in January, Mr.
Sleiman stressed that these commitments have only been partially
fulfilled as needs have dramatically increased.

"As it is not possible to impose on nations – and individuals – the
"impossible"…it is important for me to reiterate, from this very
rostrum, my call for your States to support the proposals I have
already put forth, in order to ease this escalating burden […]," Mr.
Sleiman said.

Those proposals include providing sufficient funds to meet the basic
humanitarian and livelihood needs of Syrian refugees, consolidating
frameworks and spaces to lodge refugees on Syrian territories that are
out of reach of the ongoing conflict, and holding an international
conference on the issue of Syrian refugees to look for ways to share
the burdens and numbers among States.

He also called for support for the International Support Group for
Lebanon, which "has placed the issue of the refugees at the top of its
priority list – all of this pending the sought political solution for
the Syrian crisis, which would ensure a safe and dignified return of
the refugees to their country, as soon as possible."

Mr. Sleiman emphasized that while Lebanon remains committed to Baabda
Declaration, which sets out Lebanon's disassociation from the negative
fallout of regional crises. The Lebanese will continue to support
friendly countries facing the negative repercussions of external
conflicts.

"Not only do [the Lebanese] look up to that assistance out of
brotherly and friendly solidarity, but also based on the common
responsibility thrust upon the international community as a whole,
regarding the problems which pose a threat to regional and global
security in general," he said.

He is one of scores of leaders to speak at the annual General Assembly
session at which heads of State and Government and other high-level
officials will present their views and comments on issues of
individual national and international relevance. The General debate
opened today and concludes on 1 October.Sep 24 2013 10:00PM
