As Lebanese people also seek to unite under one national identity and expose political power to public scrutiny, they are hoping to leverage the power of international and regional organisations to open an investigation and exercise pressure on the government to reform its policies through imposing sanctions on politicians, including freezing their assets abroad and refraining from providing them with any direct financial support or military weapons used on the protestors.
The international community should also investigate the conditions of migrant workers enslaved under the Kafala system (which requires foreign workers to be dependent on a local citizen or company for their visa status and renders them vulnerable to exploitation) and work together with their respective countries on ensuring they are repatriated in safe conditions.
