Beirut, September 19, 2024 - Qusay Dali - I express my deep sorrow and regret regarding the organized attacks that have occurred in the host country, Lebanon, over the past few days, which have resulted in dozens of casualties and thousands of injuries, including children. These horrific acts of aggression, carried out on a wide and indiscriminate scale, amplify their destructive impact, reflect a grave disregard for innocent lives, violate the human right to life, and threaten to destabilize the security and stability of the country. They also represent a flagrant violation of international humanitarian law and a systematic undermining of efforts to promote peace and security at both regional and international levels.

I wish to remind the international community of its duty to protect civilians, including Syrian refugees and members of the host community who live together in difficult humanitarian conditions, and who have the right to live in safety and dignity, free from the threats of organized violence, systematic intimidation, or retaliation. These acts of aggression affect the physical, psychological, economic, and social well-being of the host community and also impact hundreds of thousands of Syrian refugees under the mandate of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) according to international law, exacerbating multi-dimensional crises in the country and increasing feelings of fear, instability, and humanitarian suffering.
I call upon United Nations (UN) agencies in Lebanon and humanitarian and human rights organizations to enhance emergency humanitarian and medical response efforts in the country, by providing generous support to the host community and Syrian refugees in these challenging circumstances, and to expand outreach to encourage the international community to exert effective pressure to protect all residents from all forms of violence and acts of aggression and prevent the escalation of conflict.
In conclusion, I express my deep solidarity with the Lebanese people, extend my condolences to the families of the victims and their loved ones, and wish for the swift recovery of the injured.
Qusay Dali,
