Amendment No. 1 | Doc. 14226 | 25 January 2017
The situation in Lebanon and challenges for regional stability and European security
In the draft resolution, replace paragraph 5 with the following paragraph:
"The Assembly welcomes the formation of a national unity government on 18 December 2016, headed by Prime Minister Saad Hariri. The Assembly sees this development, together with the election of President Aoun, as a vital step for the stability of Lebanon. The Assembly wishes to see further political reconciliation, especially in line with the upcoming general elections scheduled to take place before 22 June 2017."
Explanatory note
We welcome both the election of President Michel Aoun and the formation of the new Lebanese government headed by Prime Minister Saad Hariri. Both of them are vital steps for the stability of Lebanon. I believe these very important political developments should be reflected in the draft resolution.
