In Lebanon, the Beirut Bar Association is demanding that Israel be tried for violating international law during its offensive on Lebanon. On Monday the bar association met with investigators from the UN Human Rights-Council. Meanwhile Lebanese President Emile Lahoud called on Israel to stop occupying the town of Ghajar in southern Lebanon. Lahoud said many issues remain unresolved.

• Lebanese President Emile Lahoud: “The national Lebanese army will raise the flag along the Blue Line, but there are other issues to be resolved such as the Ghajar border area issue, and they promised us to find a solution to the disputed Shebaa Farms after the cessation of the Israeli aggression, which is the origin of all problems. At the same time they (Israelis) did not hand over mines maps, and they told us that this war is all because of the captured Israeli soldiers, but nobody is mentioning them now. We want Lebanese detainees in Israeli jails too.”
