Maronite Patriarch Nasrallah Sfeir has called for guaranteeing the freedom of operations of the international tribunal without influencing its decisions.
"The international tribunal is fair and righteous," Sfeir told al-Liwaa daily in remarks published Thursday. "Lebanon needs to know the truth to achieve justice and the court should be fair."
The patriarch also said that all Christians and Muslims should overcome attempts to stir troubles between them and "launch sincere dialogue that solves their problems."
Sfeir hoped Arab leaders visiting Lebanon on Friday would succeed in their missions.
Asked about the stances of Christian opposition members, Sfeir said: "Maybe some want us to support them but this is difficult" to achieve.
Whether he would visit Syria and pray at Saint Maroun church in Aleppo, the patriarch told al-Liwaa: "We have Saint Maroun in Lebanon."
