UNIFIL: Any violation of Resolution 1701 endangers the stability of the South.

UNIFIL in Lebanon emphasizes that any violation, no matter how minor it may seem, is of utmost importance because it impedes the progress made towards consolidating lasting stability in southern Lebanon.

UNIFIL indicates that its peacekeeping forces, in close coordination with the Lebanese army, continue to monitor and report violations of Resolution 1701, in the context of joint efforts aimed at restoring calm and stability along the Blue Line.

UNIFIL adds that, through regular patrols and constant coordination with the Lebanese army, it is working to contribute to maintaining the security of local communities and supporting the Lebanese state’s efforts to assert its sovereignty over all southern territories.

In conclusion, UNIFIL emphasizes that supporting the authority of the Lebanese state in the south is an essential step towards achieving the long-term goal aspired to by Resolution 1701, which is the permanent cessation of hostilities and the achievement of sustainable stability in Lebanon and the entire region.
