"Mr President, I was in Lebanon recently, and I saw that hope is emerging there for the building of democracy and of a democratic country, and for state sovereignty to encompass the whole territory.
For this reason, Syria is also the key to peace in the Middle East. Syria refuses to recognise Lebanon or to establish diplomatic relations with the country. It is detaining people who signed the Beirut petition demanding the normalisation of relations between Syria and Lebanon. It is arresting journalists, lawyers, workers, officials and members of the opposition on trivial charges.
We must insist that the Syrian authorities release those who are being illegally held. The conditions in which prisoners are held must change. Syria should also release prisoners who have been held for years and who are recognised in Lebanon as missing, and whose mothers have asked for intervention and their release. We should insist that Syria ratify the Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment."@en1
