On August 4, 2020, at the end of the afternoon, two explosions occurred at the site of the port of Beirut in Lebanon – H.E Bilal Ghamraoui, Vice- President of the UNF, was on site.
The latest report shows at least 100 dead and 3,700 injured, but everything suggests that it is set to increase.
Mr. Christophe Giovannetti, President of the Union Nations Federation (UNF), and all the members of the organization wish to send their most sincere condolences to the families of the victims. The UNF also sends its most affectionate thoughts to the entire Lebanese population affected by this tragedy.
After managing the health emergency, Lebanon, a country friendly to France, already mired in an unprecedented crisis, will once again have to assume the socio-economic consequences of such
a disaster. France has already provided moral and material support to this country and will undoubtedly continue to do so in the future. For its part, the UNF has already been working for several months on solutions to improve the daily life of the Lebanese.
For more than two months our organization has set up a think tank to help Lebanon cope with an unparalleled crisis and help the Lebanese population which has been suffering for years.
This committee is made up of:
⁃ His Excellency General Alaa Abdulrahman Shaker, expert in criminal cases and crisis solutions.
⁃ General (2S) Didier l’Hôte, whose expertise in security and the fight against terrorism is incomparable.
⁃ Madame Corinne Lepage, Lawyer and Former Minister of the Environment of the French Republic, President of the Association of Friends of the Declaration of Human Rights for its application and the solutions she can propose for a better and more fair world.
⁃ H.E Christophe Giovannetti, for his expertise on humanitarian crises and diplomatic solutions.
⁃ Ricardo Espinosa, Former Director of NGOs at the United Nations in Geneva for his involvement and expertise in solutions, particularly in sustainable development.
⁃ H.E Bilal Ghamraoui, for his expertise in the fight against international crime, corruption and money laundering.
– H.E General Farih Al-Harthi, for his expertise in training and information verification techniques. We thank France and its Government for its immediate help to our Lebanese friends and the very symbolic gesture of President Emmanuel Macron to go to to Beirut immediately.
