UN chief Guterres calls for an independent investigation into last year's Beirut blast, which plunged Lebanon's already frail economy to new lows
The UN chief has called for an impartial and transparent investigation into last year's massive Beirut port explosion to ensure justice, after paying tribute to the victims of the blast.
“I have been receiving messages from many victims claiming for the need of truth to be established, for the need of an independent investigation that is able to produce the truth," he said. Guterres urged Lebanon's political leaders to come together to overcome the country's multiple crises, particularly the economic meltdown that has sank the once middle-income nation into poverty.
Families of the victims have been pressing for answers, accusing political parties of obstructing the national investigation.
