About Us
The Lebanese Swiss Association is an independent political movement based in Switzerland, dedicated to advancing the sovereignty, stability, and institutional integrity of Lebanon.
It was established with a clear and focused mission: to advocate for the implementation of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in Lebanon and to promote the enforcement of United Nations Security Council resolutions concerning the country.
The Association actively supports legal and institutional efforts to recover misappropriated Lebanese public assets, including cooperation with media and international actors in Switzerland.
Through its international network, it engages with Lebanese communities across Europe, North America, and Australia, contributing to voter mobilization and strengthening coordination among diaspora groups.
It maintains ongoing dialogue with political representatives and institutional stakeholders, ensuring that the voice of the Lebanese diaspora is represented in matters of national importance.
The Association continues to expand its presence and influence, guided by a firm commitment to accountability, justice, and the future of Lebanon.

Message from the President
The Lebanese Swiss Association stands for a clear and unwavering purpose: to strengthen Lebanon through unity, sovereignty, and responsible international engagement.
We believe that the Lebanese diaspora is not only a community abroad, but a powerful force capable of shaping the future of our nation. When united, its voice carries influence, responsibility, and the ability to drive meaningful change.
Our commitment is to promote dialogue, uphold the principles of human dignity and fundamental rights, and encourage constructive cooperation between Lebanon and Switzerland. Through this engagement, we support a vision of Lebanon that is stable, sovereign, and forward-looking.
Today more than ever, Lebanon needs the strength of its people—both at home and across the world. We call on Lebanese everywhere to unite their efforts, invest in their shared future, and take an active role in building a stronger, more accountable Lebanon.
