هيومن رايتس ووتش تندد بمنع الفلسطينيين الهاربين من سوريا من دخول لبنان
Read this story in English
نددت منظمة هيومن رايتس ووتش الخميس برفض السلطات السماح لمعظم الفلسطينيين الهاربين من سوريا بدخول لبنان.
وقالت المنظمة المدافعة عن حقوق الانسان، ومقرها نيويورك، في بيان ان "الحكومة اللبنانية بدأت في 6 آب 2013 منع الفلسطينيين القادمين من سوريا من دخول البلاد".
واوضحت ان "منع طالبي اللجوء من دخول البلاد انتهاك لالتزامات لبنان الدولية"، مشيرة الى ان "اسرا بالكامل، اطفال ومسنين ومرضى" عالقون على الحدود.
وطالبت المنظمة الحكومة "بسرعة الغاء قرارها بمنع دخول الفلسطينيين القادمين من سوريا"، مضيفة ان "لبنان يرفض دخول هؤلاء دون مراعاة للمخاطر التي تتهددهم".
وذكرت المنظمة بان لبنان ملزم، بموجب القانون الدولي، باحترام مبدأ عدم ترحيل الاشخاص الى بلدهم اذا كانت حياتهم او حريتهم مهددة فيه.
ويقيم نحو 500 الف فلسطيني في سوريا وخاصة في مخيم اليرموك، جنوب دمشق. الا ان هذا المخيم لم يسلم من المعارك التي تجتاح سوريا والتي جعلته غير قابل للسكن كما اكد عدد من سكانه لفرانس برس.
وقال مصدر في اجهزة الامن اللبنانية لفرانس برس "كنا حتى الان البلد الاكثر انفتاحا في ما يتعلق باللاجئين من سوريا".
واضاف هذا المصدر في امن الحدود "اننا نتعامل مع القضية الفلسطينية من منطلق انساني" لكن لبنان "ليس أرض لجوء".
واعرب عن الاسف لان لبنان، الذي يمنح حتى الان تاشيرة لمدة سبعة ايام قابلة للتجديد للاجئين الفلسطينيين، "لم يتلق حتى الان المساعدة التي وعد بها المجتمع الدولي لمواجهة هذا التدفق" للاجئين.
واستنادا للامم المتحدة فان 675 الف شخص فروا من سوريا الى لبنان منذ بداية اندلاع النزاع في سوريا في اذار 2011 بينهم 60 الف فلسطيني.
ونددت عدة منظمات انسانية والامم المتحدة بنقص الوسائل المادية اللازمة لمساعدة الدول التي تواجه تدفقا للاجئين.

HRW instead of lecturing lebanon on what we should do, go lobbying for refugee camps inside syria. You dont give a hoot about Lebanon's stability. All you see is the refugee part of the equation.
Go lobbying those rich oil countries to welcome palestinians or syrians instead of trying to burden lebanon further.
Shame on your single sidedness.
As for lebanon, Nice going, for once, we put your foot on the ground, and say ENOUGH.

They should be settled in the West Bank , the current Israeli/Palestinian " Peace Talks" what is that about then ?
All those " illegal" settlements built by the Israelis' in the West Bank should be given to all displaced Palestinians from Lebanon, Syria & Jorden . Isn't the refugees part of the Peace Talks? If not then why waste time !

It should be part of the talks, for their sake and for Lebanon's sake. If Plestinian refugees in Lebanon can return to the West Bank and if Israel return Sheb3a farms then there would be no reason for Lebanon not to have peace treaty and end all sort of violations across the borders and and the sea.

Why should Israel return the Sha'aba Farms to Lebanon, when the United Nations has declared that they are Syrian territory.

"all displaced Palestinians". Just how many displaced Palestinians are there?
A displaced person is someone who was forced to leave their home, so in this case it is only people who are over 65 years old.
No one under that age was displaced, they are still living in exactly the same place they were born.
So once again I ask "Just how many displaced Palestinians are there?"

Philippo. It is 5AM in Manchester and you are already commenting?
Weird...
Also the children and granchildren of the displaced are to return. Anything else would be unacceptable.

As I have previously stated, as I start work at 7.00 I get up early and read the website whilst having my breakfast. What is wrong with that, except that I have to go to bed at 10.00 pm, to get enough beauty sleep.

Indeed. But if they hadn't shown such opportunistic ferocity in the past then perhaps the Lebanese government would have been more tolerant regarding the matter. Then again, I don't think it would have made much of a difference since the decision I believe is largely due to the already 1.2 million Syrian refugees that are expected to be accrued by the end of the year. That's more than 25% of the current population of about 4 million. It's simply being responsible so long as there is no clear forecast as to when the war will end and how long they will stay. In fact, Lebanon harbors the largest number of Syrian refugees.

Lebanon harbors more refugees than Jordan ( some 9 times larger than Lebanon ), Turkey (some 80 times larger and 30 times richer), and more than Egypt, Iraq, Algeria, and Armenia combined. If Lebanon deserves criticism for toughening the influx then the world has indeed some self-reflecting to do.

Looking at the picture, none of them is over 65, so none of them were born in Palestine of the British Mandate, so they are not Palestinians.
It is so easy when you don't want someone to have your nationality when they are born to give them a document stating they are of a different nationality, and this is what Syria, Jordan, and yes, Lebanon have been doing since 1948.

HRW should focus on Israel instead.
Lebanon cannot take anymore refugees, especially Palestinians.
Turkey, Jordan and Iraq are much larger countries.

You are right, the organisation should concentrate on Israel. The should learn how Israel integrated 800,000 Jewish refugees from the Arab State from 1948 onwards, how she integrated hundreds of thousands of immigrants from the former Soviet Bloc, tens of thousands from Ethiopia, without having a single one of them being placed in a refugee camps for years on end.

Become sterilised ? Sure we are hospitable people in Lebanon but don't abuse that you Israelis ! Now these 65 y.o have families & it is up to you Israelis to show some common sense & allow them into the West Bank & hand back ALL illegal Israeli built settlements within the West Bank !

I know that this may be a stupid question to ask, but have you ever met an Israeli? Have you ever talked to an Israeli? If not how do you know that they are stupid?
How many Israelis have won Nobel Prizes? How many from the whole of the Arab World?
The British National Health Service imports more medicines from an Israeli company that from all other companies put together.
So they can't all be stupid.
Israel has Arab Moslem & Druze Ambassadors and Consuls in various countries around the world. Are they also stupid, as they are Israelis?

Look yah Israeli , I would love not only to have a peace treaty between Lebanon & Israel but also have TRUE solid genuine friends that are Jews ! But How ? When you Israelis even steal secrets even from you top supporter the US ! How many times have the Israelis been caught with Industrial Espionage? How many Israeli spies are currently in US jails ? Is this how you stay abreast in business ? Unless you ISRAELIS meet your OBLIGATION & return ALL Palestinians Refugees regardless of AGE group because it was you guys that created this mess back to the West Bank ( pre-1967 boarders) ALL illegally built Israeli settlement would house most of these refugees in the W.B as part as a compensation package , then return back our Shebaa Farms then I & other Majority of Lebanese would be more than to become friends & sign a Peace Treaty ! Oh make sure you also don't steal our natural resources such as our water , gas , oil !
