In a press release on Tuesday, the Lebanese American Coordinating Committee (LACC) announced that it will hold meetings at the White House, the State Department, the House of Representatives and the Senate as part of its efforts to advocate sovereignty and reform in Lebanon.
The committee will present a paper outlining Lebanon’s key challenges across various sectors, including security and sovereignty, judicial, economic and financial reforms, sovereign border control and the elimination of all illegal weapons. The paper will also address Lebanon’s positioning amid geopolitical challenges.
Additionally, the committee will engage with permanent missions to the United Nations and the UN Security Council in New York. It emphasized the significance of these meetings this year due to geopolitical shifts in the Middle East and the resumption of constitutional institutions in Lebanon.
The committee concluded its working paper by stressing that Lebanon’s new leadership “represents a crucial opportunity to break decades of political stagnation, economic mismanagement and Hezbollah’s unchecked dominance.” It described this as “a rare window for Lebanon to reclaim its sovereignty and stability.”
However, the paper also warned that this opportunity would be lost unless “the Lebanese government, with strong international support, takes decisive action to disarm all non-state factions, implement reforms and restore state control.”
