The Lebanese living abroad hereby request their legitimate right to VOTE, much as citizens of all democratic states are allowed to vote even when they reside outside their countries' borders.

Lebanese expatriates from all communities have always brought a steadfast support in all matters to their motherland.

They have been relentless in safeguarding, from abroad, a bond of national solidarity and unity without which Lebanon would not be what it is today.

The Lebanese of the Diaspora send an urgent call to put an end to the governing authorities' disregard and indifference towards them.

They demand to be involved in major decisions concerning Lebanon, especially those affecting the sovereignty, the unity and the very existence of their country.

They call for establishing, in Lebanese embassies and consulates across the globe, a structure allowing them to exert fully their legitimate voting rights.
