The General Assembly of Beirut Bar Association held a meeting on Sunday at the request of the bar’s president Melhem Khalaf to implement the agenda in order to elect a new president and members of the Bar Council. However, the session was postponed for loss of quorum until November 21, pursuant to article 38 of the Law regulating the legal profession. Khalaf then emphasized the necessity of holding these elections since they reflect and devote the principle of democracy, which is very important given the country’s current situation.
