March 14 Coalition Parliamentary Election Platform: UNSCR 1701, Taef Accord and The Arab Peace Initiative

March 14 Forces announced its election platform on Saturday, under which it would launch its race to the legislature on June 7.
The platform emphasized the necessary need for the implementation of United Nations Security Council resolution 1701, to commit to the Taef accord and to support settling the Palestinian cause based on the Arab peace initiative.

March 14 Secretariat-General Coordinator Faris Soaid read the coalition's political electoral statement on Saturday at a large conference gathering at the BIEL in Beirut saying: "At the ballots, you decide for yourselves in 85 days to whom you will give the mandate."

He went on to detail 14 points constituting the political platform upon which March 14 Forces are united.

Lebanon's salvation and protection demand the accordance of the Lebanese people to not let it be used politically, militarily, and securely in regional conflicts that have nothing to do with national interests, with Lebanon holding all its political and diplomatic commitments towards the Arab solidarity and the rightful Arab issues, and especially the Palestinian cause.

The path to achieving this vital target for Lebanon's independence, stability, and prosperity, is to implement the international resolution 1701, which provides the necessary framework and tools to do so. This decision is not one of a "party" or a "faction" imposed by March 14 forces. It is a decision that was agreed on unanimously by the Lebanese, including March 8 forces who signed on it twice: the first time in 2006 in order to stop the brutal Israeli aggression, and the second time in 2008 in the statement of the current government.

Soaid said that this issue is the path, or rather the basis to reflect the legitimate aspirations to:

1.Protect Lebanon from the Israeli aggressions and recovering Shebaa Farms through the implementation of resolution 1701 in all it clauses.

2.Impose the state authority over all its territory in accordance with the Taef agreement where " there will be no weapons or authority in Lebanon except the weapons and authority of the state".

3. End of the conflict with Syria which adopted since 1947 the policy of military neutrality, and construct normal and amicable relations in accordance with the Taef agreement and on the basis of brotherhood, equality, and common interests. This calls for the end of Syrian interference in the Lebanese affairs, and the completion of the diplomatic exchange which is considered as an accomplishment for the independent Lebanon, as well as border control and demarcation starting with Shebaa farms in order to facilitate its retrieval, and an end to the issue of the Lebanese detainees in Syrian prisons, the abolition of military bases that are present outside the camps that are technically under the authority of the Syrian authority, and the review of the unfair agreements that were signed during the period of Syrian tutelage on Lebanon.

4.Provide harmony between Lebanon and the international community on the basis of the Charter of the United Nations and the international resolutions, and avoid pushing Lebanon to confront the international community with sectarian claims that contradict its actual interest, and with convulsive slogans that are far away from its nature of pluralism, as well as reactivate Lebanon's message of co-existence and cultural interaction through supporting the initiatives that make Lebanon "an international center for dialog among civilizations and cultures, and a global laboratory for this dialog", according to the suggestion of the President of the Lebanese Republic.

5.Restore Lebanon's Arab role and its active contribution in achieving Arab solidarity which is the basic requirement to obtain Arab rights, and its commitment to support the struggle of the Palestinian people and their unity led by the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) in order to establish an independent Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its capital in the context of the "two-state solution" and a just and comprehensive peace in accordance with the "Arab Peace Initiative" in the face of the escalation of extremism, especially Israeli extremism and the policy of settlement and the expulsion of Palestinians from their homeland.

6.Strict adherence to prevent the settlement of our Palestinian brothers in Lebanon, and the adoption of the law of constitutional amendment proposal made by the Parliament members of March 14 regarding this subject more than six months ago which requires a Parliamentary consensus to amend the constitution clause that has to do with settlement.

7.Complete the construction of the state and its institutions on the basis of the Charter of co-existence through the implementation of the Taef agreement and the constitution in letter and spirit, leading to a civilized democratic state that ensures equality in rights and duties of individuals regardless of their religious affiliations, as well as ensuring free and active presence of communities, irrespective of any political or numerical consideration, adopting a new law for elections and reducing the voting age to 18 years, reforming the state institutions and departments, and liberating them from the sectarian conflicts and political clientele and corruption, all in the context of the expanded administrative decentralization, and the commitment of those in authority to their jurisdiction that is specified in the constitution in order to prevent the blocking actions from being done again.

8.Commit to achieve the requirements of the International Tribunal for Lebanon whose purpose is to uncover the truth and achieve justice, which will fortify Lebanon's sovereignty and will put an end to the trend of political assassinations and impunity, and will give credit back to the law as a regulator of life among the people, in parallel with strengthening the judiciary independence and effectiveness.
Provide the necessary funds to complete the return of all the displaced people and close the file once and for all.

9.Protect Lebanon and the Lebanese internally and abroad from the global financial crisis repercussions and maintain the monetary stability, and keep the inflation at low levels to protect the purchasing power for those who have limited income, and develop an effective program for debt management and debt reduction, and maximum benefit from the contributions of Paris-3.

10. Commit to economic and financial policies that have balanced development dimensions in all productive sectors along all Lebanese regions, and remove the obstacles away from the investments and reduce the cost of conducting business while giving priority to the sectors and the projects that provide suitable job opportunities for the Lebanese.

11. Develop the social contract that is binding for the state and the social partners, and expand the scope of health, educational, social, and relief services which commensurate with the needs and basic rights of the citizens, and activate the social safety nets for the poorest factions in collaboration with the civil society organizations.

12. Provide bigger and more effective participation for women in the political, economic, and social life, and in decision-making on the basis of equality in rights and in access to employment, education, health, and other community based opportunities and in owning and distributing resources, as well as empowering women legally through amending the unjust legislations and developing laws in this issue, especially the electoral law.

13. Commit to the cause of the Lebanese Diaspora in the world in order to provide a safety net in support of Lebanon's independence, stability, and prosperity, and achieving equality in duties and rights with the residents, especially the right to vote, which must be available to all expatriates in the place of residence, and work on facilitating the restoration the Lebanese nationality to all descendants of Lebanese origin, and facilitate the acquirement of the civil register to the Lebanese without administrative or legal complications, and granting incentives and facilities for the expatriates to work and invest in Lebanon.

14. Put an end to the environmental deterioration through a national strategy for sustainable development that includes the issuance of regulatory decrees for the application of the environmental law, and implementing the environmental impact assessment decree, as well as offer economic incentives for the institutions that introduces the environmental component in its production process, as well as promote the use of renewable sources of energy, biological agriculture, protect the water resources and water quality, and promote tourism that respects the ecological balance, preserve the wealth of forest, and treatment of solid, liquid, and gas waste.


On the basis of these options, March 14 pledges to enter into the coming electoral battle with interdependence and solidarity, in all electoral constituencies, and in collaboration with the forces and personalities that share these values and goals.

March 14 pledges to form a thorough parliamentary context inclusive of all the winners of March 14 forces in these elections.

The March 14 elected deputies in the coming parliament pledge to you the commitment to all the issues and pledge to work seriously and responsibly in achieving it.

March 14 forces pledge to return to the constitutional assets in the authority and in the opposition, with an openness to real representation in accordance with the rules of parliamentary democracy and away from the logic of disruption, whether from within or from outside the institutions.

We want to turn the page on the internal conflict, and re-connect what was lost between the Lebanese, and devote a peaceful and democratic approach in the political work and reject all internal violence.

On May 31, 2007, one day after the decision to create an international tribunal, we held our hand out to the other team and issued an invitation to revive the historical settlement, which was identified by the Taef agreement. The other party did not meet the call. Instead they confronted us with blocking and sometimes with weapons! In spite the violence that we were faced with, we did not change our choice. Today, we renew this invitation, which verbally stated the following:


"The division that emerged at the moment of the second independence in 2005 was dangerous to Lebanon. Surpassing this division requires the surpassing of three necessities:

1. The necessity to consolidate two key achievements in the history of modern Lebanon - liberation, and independence- instead of putting them, as the case is today, in confrontation with each other, which will lead to weakening these accomplishments and emptying them from contents (…)

2. Confessing the impossibility of building the state on the basis of sectarian dichotomies or troikas which Lebanon has paid the price for dearly in the previous stages. It is also impossible to build Lebanon by marginalizing or removing some of its sectarian components. Lebanon cannot be built on the image of one of its sects or on its conditions, and at the expense of its civilized quality that is formed on unity in diversity.

3. Confessing to the impossibility of building the state on the basis of giving priorities to the regional and external interests and ties instead of giving it to internal partnership and the national contract that are embodied by the constitution".

In ending Soaid reminded his audience of the future saying:

The seventh of June 2009 is a pivotal stage in the historical path that you started on March 14 2005, a winding hard path where you lost lives and shed blood, but a path filled with the breath of freedom and regained sovereignty, and the independent national decision.

Let us make from 7 June a date to cross to the state of Lebanon:

Lebanon the Taef agreement
Lebanon the implementation of resolution 1701
Lebanon the Arab peace initiative.

Oh Valentino, blessed be thy wisdom to manage to dilute so many diffused minds and wills, in an "All for no one, one for self, and no one for all" declaration.

Here's the last chance for those who haven't got the message by now: Forget about the last 20 years when Valentinos ruled, those were another Valentinos and another days.. Behold the return of the new Valentinos, the Messiah. Vote Valentinos, they'll turn your rubble into gold..

Kheir nshallah.

joseph_lubnan, i am not going to argue with you about the opposition, but be honest with me, are you convinced with the loyalists? are you with them because they are running against Hezbollah or you are with them because you believe in their principals and have faith in them and you think they will build a nation and all the nice slogans they have been repeating since 1990? (but so far did the opposite)

Don't turn this against the opposition, you have already 100s of posts about the opposition, i want your honest opinion about Hariri, Jomblat and their warlords/feudal Christian allies.

UNSCR 1701 doesn't mention Sheb3a farms and it orders Israel to retreat from occupied Lebanese territories and they didn't mean Sheb3a since according to Israel Sheb3a is not lebanese territory.

UNSCR orders Israel not to "offensively" attack Lebanon, as such any israeli maneuver can be considered a defensive one.

so the first step in their plan is a big lie.

2.Impose the state authority over all its territory in accordance with the Taef agreement where " there will be no weapons or authority in Lebanon except the weapons and authority of the state".

if they would like to accomplish and are running to disarm anyone,
a) shouldn't they start with their own people?
b) who would protect Lebanon from Israeli terrorist army? UNSCR 1701?
c) what about all those security companies armed to their teeth?
d) what about the salafis in the north?
e) what about the new Hariri creation, Arabic islamic resistance?

3. End of the conflict with Syria which adopted since 1947 the policy of military neutrality, and construct normal and amicable relations in accordance with the Taef agreement and on the basis of brotherhood, equality, and common interests. This calls for the end of Syrian interference in the Lebanese affairs, and the completion of the diplomatic exchange which is considered as an accomplishment for the independent Lebanon, as well as border control and demarcation starting with Shebaa farms in order to facilitate its retrieval, and an end to the issue of the Lebanese detainees in Syrian prisons, the abolition of military bases that are present outside the camps that are technically under the authority of the Syrian authority, and the review of the unfair agreements that were signed during the period of Syrian tutelage on Lebanon.

how do we end syrian interference in Lebanon? why the focus on just the palestinian weapons outside the camps? why not those inside the camps which have proven over and over to be more dangerous than those outside the camps?

how do u plan on normalizing relations with syria while at the same time, the syrian regime and the syrian people are labelled different kinds of harsh and offensive words and Israel and the US are called to change the regime in Syria by force and to send booby trapped cars into syria...

who are they fooling? why don't they tell us which syria they are looking for? They want Syria of Khaddam and hafez Assad which wants to annex Lebanon and considers lebanon a colony to plunder and loot.... Hariri wants a share of this loot..

4.Provide harmony between Lebanon and the international community on the basis of the Charter of the United Nations and the international resolutions, and avoid pushing Lebanon to confront the international community with sectarian claims that contradict its actual interest, and with convulsive slogans that are far away from its nature of pluralism, as well as reactivate Lebanon's message of co-existence and cultural interaction through supporting the initiatives that make Lebanon "an international center for dialog among civilizations and cultures, and a global laboratory for this dialog", according to the suggestion of the President of the Lebanese Republic.

-is Jouzou running on their lists? (sectarian alarm)
-what are the 4 generals placed in prison for? (human rights alarm)
-why was Khodr Awerke sentenced for prison? (freedom of speech)
-why the close relation with the salafi? (freedom of religion)
-does cancelling Holy Friday as a holiday and establishing Feb 14 as a day of mourn contribute to equality among communities in Lebanon?

5.Restore Lebanon's Arab role and its active contribution in achieving Arab solidarity which is the basic requirement to obtain Arab rights, and its commitment to support the struggle of the Palestinian people and their unity led by the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) in order to establish an independent Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its capital in the context of the "two-state solution" and a just and comprehensive peace in accordance with the "Arab Peace Initiative" in the face of the escalation of extremism, especially Israeli extremism and the policy of settlement and the expulsion of Palestinians from their homeland.

it is their right to side with Dahlan and the israelis... it is their right to drop the palestinian people and to support israel and why not even Eretz Israel...

but for God's sake, they should stop claiming to be the ultimate supporters of the arab cause...

6.Strict adherence to prevent the settlement of our Palestinian brothers in Lebanon, and the adoption of the law of constitutional amendment proposal made by the Parliament members of March 14 regarding this subject more than six months ago which requires a Parliamentary consensus to amend the constitution clause that has to do with settlement.

can someone ask Jounblatt what he meants when he said in June 2005 on Kalam el Nass from Moukhtara:"the Palestinians will be settled, there is no doubt about that?"
what was their answer when the US administration under Bush declared that "a suitable solution be found for the palestinian diaspora to remain and embed in the societies where they are present"?

7.Complete the construction of the state and its institutions on the basis of the Charter of co-existence through the implementation of the Taef agreement and the constitution in letter and spirit, leading to a civilized democratic state that ensures equality in rights and duties of individuals regardless of their religious affiliations, as well as ensuring free and active presence of communities, irrespective of any political or numerical consideration, adopting a new law for elections and reducing the voting age to 18 years, reforming the state institutions and departments, and liberating them from the sectarian conflicts and political clientele and corruption, all in the context of the expanded administrative decentralization, and the commitment of those in authority to their jurisdiction that is specified in the constitution in order to prevent the blocking actions from being done again.

coming from hariri, this is the biggest joke ever... finish corruption, clientelism, nepotism, tribalism..... equality among citizens... etc...

can someone ask them why the inequality in the money spent on projects since 1992 and even since 2005?
why did Bkerke complain 2 years ago that Christians were not allowed adequate employment in the government?
why was the money planned to fix the northern roads to the City of Beirut directed towards Beirut General hospital?
why was the highway completed and improved to high standards, whereas those of north beirut were left to wither slowly?
for comparison, 240,000 cars pass daily in Dora, while less than 30,000 go daily to Saida.

8.Commit to achieve the requirements of the International Tribunal for Lebanon whose purpose is to uncover the truth and achieve justice, which will fortify Lebanon's sovereignty and will put an end to the trend of political assassinations and impunity, and will give credit back to the law as a regulator of life among the people, in parallel with strengthening the judiciary independence and effectiveness.

Rje3na!!!! it is estimated that the Tribunal will not give any results before at least 3 to 5 years.. and why a Tribunal for Hariri and none for the 170 lebanese army soldiers who died in May-June 2007 in the North?

what about the many politicians, officers and people of religion, many who had higher status than Hariri who were killed?

Provide the necessary funds to complete the return of all the displaced people and close the file once and for all.

of course... good luck!!!!!

after 17 years, 17% of the displaced returned all over Lebanon and even less than 12% returned in Aley and Shouf?
do they plan on keeping Jounblatt in charge of this file?

9.Protect Lebanon and the Lebanese internally and abroad from the global financial crisis repercussions and maintain the monetary stability, and keep the inflation at low levels to protect the purchasing power for those who have limited income, and develop an effective program for debt management and debt reduction, and maximum benefit from the contributions of Paris-3.

whatever!

even Carlos Eddeh and Bin Laden are calling for this!

10. Commit to economic and financial policies that have balanced development dimensions in all productive sectors along all Lebanese regions, and remove the obstacles away from the investments and reduce the cost of conducting business while giving priority to the sectors and the projects that provide suitable job opportunities for the Lebanese.

do they really believe in what they are saying?
during his disastrous years as PM, Hariri worked hard to destroy all sectors of the economy except Banking and Sex tourism...

can someone remind them what Hariri did to the Steel plants in 3amshit in Sept 1997? he lowered any taxes on importing steel from abroad and imported himself sub-standard steel from Ukraine, which was cheap since it was rejected by all other countries?

how do u expect the factories to compete when the electric bill is the highest in the region?
how do u expect the dot-com sector to grow when the internet infrastructure was kept worst than the poorest country in Africa and on top of this, they tried to kill the competition and any chances to grow by trying to control the internet business in Lebanon.. (hmadeh and his son)..

11. Develop the social contract that is binding for the state and the social partners, and expand the scope of health, educational, social, and relief services which commensurate with the needs and basic rights of the citizens, and activate the social safety nets for the poorest factions in collaboration with the civil society organizations.

of course, by ruining the Daman.... for the last 3 or even more years, Sanioura and Hariri before him have stopped all new recruitment in Daman with the plan to close down the whole institution...

12. Provide bigger and more effective participation for women in the political, economic, and social life, and in decision-making on the basis of equality in rights and in access to employment, education, health, and other community based opportunities and in owning and distributing resources, as well as empowering women legally through amending the unjust legislations and developing laws in this issue, especially the electoral law.

as such they are encouraging the following women to run:
-Solange Gemayel
-Bahia Hariri
-Nayla Mouawad
-Nayla Tueni
-Sitrida Geagea

what's common between all these women?
they have never accomplished anything besides being the wife, sister or daughter of a politician....

what's expected of them? nothing of course... since they will always be covered by the shadow of their defunct relative...

13. Commit to the cause of the Lebanese Diaspora in the world in order to provide a safety net in support of Lebanon's independence, stability, and prosperity, and achieving equality in duties and rights with the residents, especially the right to vote, which must be available to all expatriates in the place of residence, and work on facilitating the restoration the Lebanese nationality to all descendants of Lebanese origin, and facilitate the acquirement of the civil register to the Lebanese without administrative or legal complications, and granting incentives and facilities for the expatriates to work and invest in Lebanon.

and they work for the diaspora by preventing from voting in the place where they are....

they work for the diaspora by exporting lebanon's internal problems to that diaspora...

they work for the diaspora by keeping airplane tickets to Lebanon more expensive than first class ticket to the outer space..

14. Put an end to the environmental deterioration through a national strategy for sustainable development that includes the issuance of regulatory decrees for the application of the environmental law, and implementing the environmental impact assessment decree, as well as offer economic incentives for the institutions that introduces the environmental component in its production process, as well as promote the use of renewable sources of energy, biological agriculture, protect the water resources and water quality, and promote tourism that respects the ecological balance, preserve the wealth of forest, and treatment of solid, liquid, and gas waste.

-please someone remind them of the chemical toxic wastes imported by Geagea
-please someone remind them of the power plants which wer supposed to run on the clean natural gas and they end up making them to run on Diesel and Fuel oil both of which are environmentally dirty..
-please someone remind them of the power line in Mansourieh
-please someone remind them of the solutions provided for the Bourj Hammoud garbage dump
-please someone remind them of what they have done for Zouk power plant and the toxic fumes it releases


finally, let's not forget that same team has been in power since 1992 and we should hold them accountable for what they have achieved since 1992...

so the first step in their plan is a big lie.



if they would like to accomplish and are running to disarm anyone,
a) shouldn't they start with their own people?
b) who would protect Lebanon from Israeli terrorist army? UNSCR 1701?
c) what about all those security companies armed to their teeth?
d) what about the salafis in the north?
e) what about the new Hariri creation, Arabic islamic resistance?



how do we end syrian interference in Lebanon? why the focus on just the palestinian weapons outside the camps? why not those inside the camps which have proven over and over to be more dangerous than those outside the camps?

how do u plan on normalizing relations with syria while at the same time, the syrian regime and the syrian people are labelled different kinds of harsh and offensive words and Israel and the US are called to change the regime in Syria by force and to send booby trapped cars into syria...

who are they fooling? why don't they tell us which syria they are looking for? They want Syria of Khaddam and hafez Assad which wants to annex Lebanon and considers lebanon a colony to plunder and loot.... Hariri wants a share of this loot..



-is Jouzou running on their lists? (sectarian alarm)
-what are the 4 generals placed in prison for? (human rights alarm)
-why was Khodr Awerke sentenced for prison? (freedom of speech)
-why the close relation with the salafi? (freedom of religion)
-does cancelling Holy Friday as a holiday and establishing Feb 14 as a day of mourn contribute to equality among communities in Lebanon?



it is their right to side with Dahlan and the israelis... it is their right to drop the palestinian people and to support israel and why not even Eretz Israel...

but for God's sake, they should stop claiming to be the ultimate supporters of the arab cause...


can someone ask Jounblatt what he meants when he said in June 2005 on Kalam el Nass from Moukhtara:"the Palestinians will be settled, there is no doubt about that?"
what was their answer when the US administration under Bush declared that "a suitable solution be found for the palestinian diaspora to remain and embed in the societies where they are present"?




coming from hariri, this is the biggest joke ever... finish corruption, clientelism, nepotism, tribalism..... equality among citizens... etc...

can someone ask them why the inequality in the money spent on projects since 1992 and even since 2005?
why did Bkerke complain 2 years ago that Christians were not allowed adequate employment in the government?
why was the money planned to fix the northern roads to the City of Beirut directed towards Beirut General hospital?
why was the highway completed and improved to high standards, whereas those of north beirut were left to wither slowly?
for comparison, 240,000 cars pass daily in Dora, while less than 30,000 go daily to Saida.

Kappa... ma ta@eeb 7halak.. with all your valid points and arguments... at the end of the day, you are allied with Syria!! No matter what you say and how patriotic you want to be.....it's enough for FPMers to run on Syrian Oriented Lists!! nothing else matter!! 20 years from now, a dark chapter in our history book will detail how a once proud, educated movement, went down the drain with the Baathists, SSNPers, and HAers... i.e., and please do not reply with the usual Geagea, Hahabbis, etc....it doesn't make sense, andif it doesn't make sense, it's a Lie!!

The first thing that came to my attention is that they put their program in 14 points.

Just exactly and conveniently,14 points.(Ya Latif Ma Ahdamon)

How stupid,childish and artificial...Typical Febs 5 years old mentality.

You keep forgetting that YOU brought HA to power by leveraging them in 2005... REMEMBER???

And here is an advice for you: BE CAREFUL... once KSA and Syria are friends again, your allies will go back to being Syria's boot lickers. FPM has proudly made a move towards Syria AFTER it pulled out. Your friends today EXTENDED an olive branch to Syria, what do you say about that? JUST AS THE INTERNATIONAL COURT STARTED ITS WORK... why didn't they wait a little until the INTERNATIONAL COURT removes the syrian regime?
