France: Miqati Should Respect The Indictment Of Hariri's Murderers

France says that the government of Hezbollah-backed Miqati should respect the perpetually pending STL indictment on the murder of Rafik Hariri:

France: Miqati's Cabinet Should Respect U.N. Resolutions and Tribunal

French Defense Minister Alain Juppe has stressed that Najib Miqati's government should respect international resolutions on Lebanon, including the Special Tribunal for Lebanon.

Following talks with U.N. chief Ban Ki-moon in New York on Monday, Juppe said "a solution should be found to the current political crisis by preserving Lebanon's unity and stability."


When asked by An Nahar's reporter about his point of view on the nomination of Miqati, who is backed by Hizbullah, as premier-designate, Juppe said: "We don't interfere in Lebanon's internal affairs."

However, he stressed that Lebanon should "respect the resolutions of the U.N. and implement resolutions linked to the Special Tribunal for Lebanon."

Considering that it is Hezbollah that is putting Miqati into power, that is some suggestion on the part of the French.

I'm still waiting for someone--anyone--to openly say that whatever government ends up being formed in Egypt should respect the treaties made with Israel.

Yup, still waiting...
