Mansour Says Lebanon Won’t Support Any U.N. Resolution Against Syria
Foreign Minister Adnan Mansour stressed on Saturday that Lebanon, which is the president of the U.N. Security Council for the month of September, will not support any resolution that condemns the Syrian regime in its violent crackdown on protestors.
“Even Russia rejects a resolution against Syria in the form that the West wants,” he told Voice of Mada radio station.
“The security situation in Syria today is better than it was five months ago,” Mansour said.
Lebanon last month dissociated itself from a statement by the Security Council condemning Syria’s President Bashar Assad for unleashing a fierce campaign against civilians and violating human rights.
Mansour said the government will not dissociate itself from international resolutions but would invest its presidency of the Security Council diplomatically.
