Aoun: UN Sanctions for STL Funding Tantamount to Militray Invasion
Local Editor
"Change and Reform bloc" Leader MP Michel Aoun renewed on Tuesday his rejection of the funding of the Special Tribunal for Lebanon, slamming any potential United Nations Security Council sanctions against Lebanon in this context.
Following the weekly meeting of his bloc, Aoun stressed that "any sanctions against Lebanon over this matter are tantamount to a military invasion."
"The STL is acting as if it is part of the Security Council and it should therefore fund it itself," he added.
"We have no deal with STL concerning payment," Aoun confirmed.
Calling the government to assume "its responsibilities and control the border between Syria and Lebanon," Aoun noted that "we don't have to take rumors into consideration."
