●Lebanon abrogates the May 17 Agreement

On 5 March 1984 the Lebanese government formally annulled the 17 May Agreement after the 6 February uprising and the Marines' withdrawal, and under Syrian pressure, paving the way for the Lausanne national dialogue conference on 12 March.

Note: Annulling an agreement extracted under occupation is consistent with the principle that treaties imposed by force are void (Article 52 of the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties).
