U.N. Security Council Denies Receiving Lebanese Complaint on Syria Violations
Reports that Lebanon has filed a complaint to the U.N. Security Council against the Syrian violations were foiled Saturday when sources of the British mission at the council assured otherwise, As Safir daily said.
Britain, which currently holds the rotating presidency of the Security Council has not received so far any formal complaint from Lebanon against the violations. The information was also confirmed by sources of the Lebanese delegation at the U.N., added As Safir.
Lebanon will send a complaint that does not include any measures to be taken to the Security Council over the assaults carried out by Syrian regime troops and the rebel Free Syrian Army, informed sources told the daily.
They added that Lebanon will not file a compliant against the Syrian opposition so as not to constitute a recognition of the body.
Government sources said earlier that Lebanese authorities have sent a memo to the Security Council on Syrian violations and “filed a complaint” with the Arab League over the assaults.
However, they added that caretaker Foreign Minister Adnan Mansour is still mulling the request of President Michel Suleiman to file the complaint.
