BEIRUT, Oct. 10 (Xinhua) -- An international conference to discuss the Syrian displacement repercussions was held Tuesday trying to narrow the gaps between the human rights and human trafficking.
NGOs and civil society organizations gathered to discuss the difficulties that Syrian refugees and hosting countries are suffering after more than six years of the Syrian civil war.
The conference was organized by "Mawad Civil Society Organization" with the collaboration of Besme International and the Lebanese Internal Security Forces.
Besme International General Manager Gulshan Suglam thanked the Lebanese state and government for the generosity they showed in addressing the Syrian refugee issue.
She expressed appreciation to the Lebanese government for its "efforts to address the issue of the Syrian refugees," however also pointed out that Lebanon is somehow bind to address this issue as its obligations stipulated in the constitution.
She added "we do not forget that Lebanon embraced in its constitution the International Declaration on Human rights and the related resolutions issued by the United Nations in this matter and Lebanon is bind to apply all the regulations stated in these resolutions."
Representative of State Minister for Refugees Ziad al-Sayegh for his part tried to line out the repercussions of the Syrian refugees on Lebanon.
"Lebanon is committed through its constitution to respect the Human Rights, and is also committed to all the resolutions and agreements adopted by the United Nations and the Arab League," he said.
"But we have sometimes to differentiate between signing and commitment, and the repercussions that Lebanon is witnessing due to the displacement and refuge, meaning that the scientific logic must be reconsidered in addressing the problems of displacement and refuge," he added.
Syrian refugees in Lebanon, according to the United Nations Higher Commission for refugees, count about 1 million, a matter that Lebanon has complained repeatedly about the huge burden it has taken, and cannot take alone anymore.
