Collective for Research and Training for Development Action (CRTD.A)
A
Statement from Lebanese Civil Society Associations
A
number of Lebanese, Arab and international organizations held a meeting
on
07/15/06 to discuss the current situation in
Lebanon.
Out of a common interest in helping their fellow
citizens, and out of a
sense of duty, and despite their differences, these
organizations are
inviting everyone to contribute to efforts to help those
citizens displaced
due to Israeli attacks on Lebanon.
As a
result of this meeting, these organizations came out with
this
declaration:
1. Call for an immediate ceasefire and
call upon the UN to assume its
responsibilities for protecting peace and
stability.
2. Stop all military actions, particularly those which
are affecting
civilians.
3. Immediately cease and desist the
policy of collective punishment
including the siege of Lebanon, the
bombardment of transportation links, and
the resulting displacement of
citizens which resulted to a grave
humanitarian crisis in
Lebanon.
4. Immediately stop and refute the policy of attacks
against civilian
infrastructures.
5. Invite all private,
civic and public organizations as well as
concerned individuals to assist
people displaced from the south of Lebanon
and/or other Lebanese
regions.
Finally, the organizations that met invite all interested
NGOs, to a general
meeting on Monday, June 17 at 5 pm in Zico House in
Sanayeh. The meeting
will be a forum to discuss how to organize and best
assist displaced people
of Lebanon and to discuss potential civic
Actions.
