I love to sit here in Tampa, Florida in the US and give countries advice. It
would not be the first time. I can say not one country had ever objected to
my advice no matter how slow they are to
take it.
Lebanon is between the rock of the UN and the hard place of Hezbollah. The
UN is demanding Lebanon disarm all private militias even though neither the
UN nor the government has the power to do so. There is a solution. Make
Hezbollah a public militia. That takes away all the formal complaints
although the stuck pig reaction will be a joy to behold.
Lebanon simply needs to emulate many countries in the world including the US
and recognize the existence of a ready militia and declare Hezbollah a ready
militia for the defense of Lebanon。This will also permit other ready
militias for the defense of Lebanon from foreign aggression namely Israel.
As with any ready militia they are required to arm themselves so if the arms
are donated from Syria or Iran there is no problem in law once recognized as
a ready militia. But there is no formal recognition required as all citizens
of militia age are required by law to join a ready militia. This is the case
in the US although the law is not enforced.
Militias are also required to be volunteers and train on their own time but
the government may provide facilities for that training. So there is no
problem with their training as it is a matter of law. They are required to
train.
As an added benefit a ready militia is also a legal obligation, enforced or
not, therefore there is no requirement to collect names of its members. If
anything making it a requirement of males between certain ages would only
require collecting the names of non-members. But as enforcement of the law
would be completely up to Lebanon there need be no action at all.
By doing this Lebanon legitimizes Hezbollah in the face of Israel, the US
and the puppet UN declarations. And they would squeal as they squealed when
Palestinians freely elected Hamas and the US and Israel rejected democracy
in the middle east.
