Resolution

Observations

The Security Council recalled Secretary-General Kofi Annan's conclusion that Israel had withdrawn its forces from Lebanon as of 16 June 2000, by Resolution 425. It emphasised the temporary nature of the UNIFIL operation and urged respect for the Blue Line, given recent incidents. There was concern about tensions along the Blue Line, and the Council felt, along with the Secretary-General, that the situation did not warrant a change in UNIFIL's mandate.

Acts

The Lebanese government was called upon to restore its authority in southern Lebanon through the deployment of Lebanese forces. [2] The parties were urged to ensure UNIFIL's full freedom of movement and to ensure its safety. Both Israel and Lebanon were called upon to fulfill commitments to respect the withdrawal line identified by the United Nations and all air, sea and land violations of the line were condemned.

The resolution supported efforts by UNIFIL to monitor violations of the withdrawal line and efforts in demining, encouraging the need for additional maps to be provided of the location of land mines. The Secretary-General was requested to continue consultations with the Lebanese government and troop-contributing countries concerning the implementation of the current resolution. It further directed him to report on the activities of UNIFIL and tasks conducted by the United Nations Truce Supervision Organization (UNTSO).

Finally, the resolution concluded by stressing the importance of a just and lasting peace in the Middle East based on relevant Security Council resolutions including 242 (1967) and 338 (1973).
