Berri Uncovers the Continual Betrayal
Naharnet News Desk - 03/02/2007
Berri uncovers letter paving way for establishment of International Tribunal under Chapter 7.
Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri on Saturday uncovered that the government had recently sent a letter to the U.N. Security Council that paves the way for requesting the establishment of the international tribunal to try suspects in ex-premier Rafik Hariri's murder and related crimes under Chapter 7.
In a statement released by his office, Berri accused Hariri and the illegitimate government of Prime Minister Fouad Saniora of sending "fabricated letters day and night to the United Nations ? the latest a letter sent three days ago paving the way for demanding the establishment of the court under Chapter 7 of the U.N. Charter."
Chapter 7 spares the government the need to approve the international tribunal in parliament.

"The plot behind not allowing a discussion (over the tribunal) was eventually to resort to Chapter 7 in order to keep up pressure on the Opposition, on the Lebanese and on Lebanon,' Berri added.
Berri also denied claims by Hariri that he was seeking to wait until after the completion of the investigation into his slain father before ratifying the establishment of the international tribunal.
"The suggestion to postpone the endorsement of the tribunal plan until the completion of the international probe simply did not originate from Speaker Berri," the statement from his office said.
