Upon wrapping up his visit to the U.S., Lebanese Maronite Patriarch Mar Bechara Botrous Rahi warned on Monday from transferring the Arab spring scene to an autumn smeared with endless civil wars.

The last of Rahi's meetings in the U.S. was with head of the United Nations General Assembly, Ambassador Nasser Abul Aziz Nasser, who briefed him on the content of the letter he recently submitted to the United Nations.
Nasser who met Rahi at the Lebanese consulate of New York told him the letter underscored the valuable role and Future of Christians in the Middle East region.
After voicing a stern warning against "shifting Arab Spring developments to an Autumn of Civil wars," Rahi hailed the role UNIFIL plays in preserving Lebanon's borderline stability. 

In a related context, Lebanese President, Michel Sleiman, said the UN must endeavor to restore peace and find watchful mechanisms to sidestep conflicts on the basis of justice.

Speaking on the occasion of the United Nations World Day, he said it was important for this organization to remain an international reference to settle on transnational disputes, albeit the stringent need for wide reforms within UN committees. 

Earlier, Lebanese President during his the inauguration of the Union of Arab Constitutional Courts and Councils (UACCC) at the Bristol hotel in Beirut, said it has been deemed necessary that two reform principles be proposed.

The first, was to interpret the constitution before constitutional council according to the National Pact, the President said regarding constitutional amendment as necessary herein.

The second principle was to unfetter the Council from politicization and in that respect, amend the Constitutional Council's way of establishment and election of members, Sleiman explained.

"Elections' law is the basis of reform (...) and needs to be developed," he said pointing out to ongoing surrounding changes so as to prove the necessity to applying political reforms, primarily, constitutional ones.

Also, Sleiman said the constitution conveys people's free will and that constitutional justice has become indispensable especially inside pluralistic societies, owed to Globalization.
