"“We have lent a huge amount of money to the U.S. Of course we are concerned about the safety of our assets. To be honest, I am definitely a little worried.” "

Text of UN resolution on Lebanon

Vital Perspective claim to have a copy of the text which can be seen here, with some supporting notes.


A useful exegisis by a lawyer is avialable here from Anthony D'Amato of Northwestern University School of Law.

His final comment is ...

"Every nation has a stake in the cessation of armed hostilities. But the real parties in interest in the Middle East crisis are Iran, Syria, Hezbollah, Lebanon, and Israel. Without the presence of the first three of these sitting around a table, the chances of a negotiated peace are low. The United Nations must pass some kind of ceasefire resolution; not to do so would be unthinkable. Yet the resolution as currently drafted does not have an aura of success."

It is because of this Lord Patel thinks the whole thing is unworkable .... but then that may well be the intention. A legal snowball to be roasted in the Lebanon.

Keep the lawyers busy in steamy hot New York while Israel stokes the fires of Hell on Earth - now equipped with Bunker Busters and shortly, F-22 Raptors. Watch out for them arriving at Lakenheath - on the way to Incirlik , Diego Garcia ?
