Beirut-Damascus Declaration

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Beirut-Damascus Declaration was a statement signed by 274 Lebanese and Syrian activists and intellectuals which called on the Syrian regime to correct its relationship with Lebanon and to respect its independence and sovereignty starting with demarcating a common border and establishing diplomatic relations. Since its publication on May 12, 2006, many of the signatories have since been fired from their jobs and have been subject to persecution.
