Ban Praises Miqati’s Commitment to International Resolutions
U.N. Chief Ban Ki-moon praised Prime Minister Najib Miqati’s commitment to the international resolutions, al-Liwaa newspaper reported on Tuesday.
Ban sent a message to Miqati through Lebanon's Special Envoy to the U.N. Nawaf Salam welcoming the Premiership’s commitment to the Special Tribunal for Lebanon, Security Council resolution 1701 and all the other resolutions.
The U.N.-backed court on Thursday issued a long-awaited indictment and arrest warrants for the 2005 murder of Lebanon's ex-premier Rafik Hariri.
The U.N. chief contacted Miqati soon after the release of the indictment urging him to announce his commitment to Security Council resolution 1757 that established the STL.
Ban called on authorities to cooperate in handing over the suspects for trial. The arrest warrants were issued against four members of Hizbullah.
The STL, set up in 2009 by the United Nations, is the first international court with jurisdiction to try an act of terrorism.

I can assure you TRICOLOR that crime that goes unpunished will multiply and thugs that took the life of so many of innocent people during hariri murder must be held accountable regardless of who they are. Everyhting has an end and if you think that march 14 is over and so will march the 8 but thier end will be more nasty.

Nasr, I do not care nor need your assurance. Thanks anyway. What Ban said contradicts what Hady Hobeich today in particular is and all of Al Mustaqbal are repeating, and that makes them liars. If you think I am wrong, then this makes Ban the liar and this becomes a bigger problem to you (I personally do not trust Ban because he is an idiot and a US puppet). Your problem is not with me, friend. It is with those who lie to you, and that makes them big losers.

Yes, Miqati will follow UN resolutions more than America or Israel ever did! And those who do not like it, jump in the ocean.
Another GOLDEN nail in the coffin of the now-defunct March 14 and Al Mustaqbal al mrett. Unemployment will only rise by 0.024% as these clowns never really amounted to much. They were mostly remotely-controlled robots with broken records inside. Actually, they will remain as such but with no official titles. SORRY LOSERS!
