MOREP BREAKING NEWS \|What To Do In Case Of Low Energy Light Bulb Breaks: Morep Warning: Since Low energy light bulbs contain the high toxic chemical Mercury, a break of the lamp is very dangerous. You should directly get out from the room for 15 minutes the time of the residue to be stable on the ground, taking care not to step on the shards of glass littering the floor. Try not to inhale dust from broken bulb. Not To use a vacuum cleaner since it spread the toxic mercury to other rooms. Put on a rubber gloves and seep the debris into a dustpan. Place the remain in a plastic bag and seal it. Do not put the bag in normal household dustbin. Place it inside of recycling toxics bin for battery which also contain mercury. \| OPEN LETTER TO UN SECRETARY GENERAL MR BAN KEE_MOON FROM MOREP PRESIDENT: After the increasing political tension in the Gulf Area between Iran and surrounded countries involving the international communities and regarding nuclear use that may end to an aggressive war, we ask the United Nations to prevent the Arabian/Persian Gulf pollution from oil discharge. The Gulf Sea has a natural environment very rich with good fishing grounds, abundant Pearl Oyster and extensive coral reefs. Its ecology has become increasingly under critical conditions from the heavy repeated petroleum spillages associated with the recent war fought in the region. During the Iran-Iraq war each side attacked the other’s oil tankers and ships resulted in 17 years of sea pollution starting from Kuwait to the Strait of Hormuz. Nowadays and after too much suffering the deep sea starts to regain its vitality very slowly. Any coming war in this region might destroy the Arabian/Persian Gulf deep sea ecosystem completely. Mr. the Secretary General, The preambles of the “UN Convention on the Law of the Sea” states that “the problems of ocean space are closely interrelated and need to be considered as a whole” and by this Convention a development of the principles embodied in resolution 2749 (XXV) of 17 December 1970 in which the General Assembly of the United Nations solemnly declared inter alias that the area of the seabed and ocean floor and the subsoil thereof, beyond the limits of national jurisdiction, as well as its resources, are the common heritage of mankind, the exploration and exploitation of which shall be carried out for the benefit of mankind as a whole, irrespective of the geographical location of States. The Part IX, Art. 122 concerning gulf as a semi-enclosed sea and Art. 123 clearly mentioned that states bordering a gulf area shall coordinate the management, conservation, exploration and exploitation of the living resources of the sea with respect to the protection and preservation of the marine environment (paragraph (b)). “The international convention for the prevention of pollution of sea by oil” ended environmental treaties in London 1954 with consecutive Amendments in 1962 and 1969, entered into force in 1978 together with the sixth Assembly of the Inter-Governmental Maritime Consultative Organization on 21 October 1969 (Resolution A. 175 (Vl)) for regulation of oil transport hence decreasing the risk of environmental catastrophes and sea pollution. The signed agreements was made for this main reason, while extrapolating to the pollution caused by war the concerned countries will not respect this principle which they signed previously for. Neutral countries and concerned ones have the obligation to observe the requirements of UN Conventions and what follows in other international agreements. The statements of the First Protocol of Geneva Convention protect victims of international conflicts, and by jurisdiction is to be extended to environment which is a victim that should be protected. Therefore, we hope from you to take action by common agreement to prevent pollution of the Arabian/Persian Gulf Sea from oil discharge during any war that might happen and considering that this end may best be achieved by your direct intervention against infringement on its environment. We have accordingly presented what should be agreed between conflicting countries to prevent this area from oil discharge, and this to be achieved as soon as possible before any environment disaster happens. \| 09/11/2007 On the MOREP Charity program day, Ms. Jayne Wilson (MOREP-England-Africa on Charity Program) met MOREP President Dr Majid Abi Saab and diffused informations about poverty and famine in Africa suggesting rapid actions in front of these alarming situations. Human being by nature needs to survive. People these decades want just to follow the market and stokes, to become rich or to live in good conditions. Economical States are provoking inflations. Poor children are thrown to be eaten by vultures. This Picture depicts a famine stricken child crawling towards a UN food camp, located a Km away. The vulture is waiting for the child to die to eat him. This is what is happening everyday like it was in the Sudan famine in 1994 where this picture was taken. Today is the Zimbabwe famine, the one loaf of bread costs $13 equal to a day wages resulting in the missing of enough corn. In Madagascar, 85% of people lives on less than a $ per day. By 2010, there will be approximately 18 million AIDS orphans in Africa. The children destiny is promising to the worst while rich and developped countries are projecting their hypocrisy. It is alarming . MOREP urges the world to look at these poorest countries and help these millions lifes to survive. Do promote investment of all kind, help and support. Push your country politics to turn their face to this side of the world. \| \|17/10/2007 MOREP- Chapitre Culturel explore la COtE De BATROUN en la presence du President Abi Saab.

والبدل هو إنشاء شركات عامة تستورد الرمل من الصحراء العربية والبحص من البلاد المجاورة يكون ايضا" شريكا" فيها من يرغب من اللبنانيين ومن أصحاب كسارات مقفلة. فالعلم يمنع انشاء مرامل وكسارات على الجبال بل في الاماكن ذات الطبيعة المسطحة والتي لا وجود لها في لبنان.

It’s such a pity.” Last month, Minister Michel Murr licensed a new sand quarry to operate right next to an EU project to rehabilitate an old quarry on a forested mountain overlooking the northern village of Qnat...........(Extract)

Daily Star staff
There was, ostensibly, only one way to find out if wayward quarrying would ever be banned, or waste dumped in rivers halted in this country. It seemed obvious to turn to the Ministry of Environment. But that logic was misplaced.“Have you read the rules which set up the ministry?” asked the clearly frustrated Environment Minister, Arthur Nazarian, pointing to a copy sitting atop a neat pile on his generally orderly desk............(Extract)

Les contraventions que commettrait tout propriétaire de carrières, selon le Dr Abi Saab, se résument comme suit : – La loi sur les réserves naturelles empêche tous les travaux publics à moins de 500 mètres de toute réserve. «S’il faut que les entrepreneurs de travaux publics respectent cette distance, que dirait-on pour les carrières ?»fait remarquer le Dr Abi Saab. – Il existe une loi qui considère les forêts de cèdres comme réserves naturelles, dans le caza de Bécharré entre autres. «Or, les étendues de cèdres de la région souffriront de la désertification et de la dégradation des eaux.......(Extract)

La plainte était formulée par des individus, originaires du village de Mazraat Bani Saab (caza de Bécharré, Liban-Nord), contre une décision du ministère du Tourisme qui, selon eux, menaçait le patrimoine naturel de leur village en reniant à ce dernier la qualité de «touristique», ouvrant par là la voie à des exploitants de carrières qui convoitaient les hauteurs boisées de la localité.
