Lebanon no longer has a card except for the timid return led by the Director General of General Security Major General Abbas Ibrahim. As reluctant and timid as it may seem, this option is the only possible and currently available one until regional conditions are unblocked and untangled, as the issue is rather political than humanitarian. The accusations levelled by Lebanese actors at UN institutions of encouraging non-return are misplaced. The General Security, which is currently coordinating the return, faces great difficulties and the revision and agreeing of names is a time-consuming effort so as not to send back those who could be at risk of retribution from the regime. This is carried out by the United Nations, as it is explaining to the returnees the living conditions and what would be available to them, whether they would be returning to their villages, and whether houses or shelters are available. These questions – which are also concerns – are the minimum humanitarian obligation to be met in trying to secure the life of these refugees, who although may be a burden to Lebanon, have the right to live in humanitarian conditions at the least. Some of them may not be seeking an easy and comfortable life, but they do not wish death nor another return to Lebanon fleeing an undignified return to their homeland. Ensuring proper return conditions is essential, even if the return would be delayed for a few months… only.
