Only Security Council Resolution Annuls a Previous Resolution
French Foreign Ministry spokesman Bernard Valero has said that any U.N. Security Council resolution remains valid as long as the world body hasn”t adopted another resolution to annul it.
Valero told al-Balad daily in remarks published on Sunday that Syria and Lebanon should agree on implementing the articles of Security Council resolution 1559.
Valero”s comment came in response to Syria”s request to annul 1559.
Another source told the newspaper that a resolution cannot be annulled without the consensus of the major powers that have Security Council seats.
However, Lebanese diplomatic sources told Ad-Diyar daily that 1559 does not exist anymore.
