Emile Boustany (1909–2002) was born in Junieh-Caza of Keserwan. He served as a Commander of General rank in the Lebanese Armed Forces^[1] from 1 July 1965 to 6 January 1970.^[2]

Boustany went to Egypt in 1969 and drafted the Cairo Accord, which was the first official concession of sovereignty of the Lebanese state. It is said that Egyptian President Nasser was pleasantly surprised to see the degree of concession offered to him - at the time Egypt had a strong say in electing the Lebanese president and Boustany surely hoped for it.
