Security Council condemns attacks against peacekeepers in Lebanon

 UNITED NATIONS:The UN Security Council issued a press statement on Wednesday condemning the recent attacks against peacekeepers in Lebanon. 

Against the backdrop of ongoing hostilities along the Blue Line, the members of the Security Council condemned the several incidents that impacted the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) positions and injured UNIFIL peacekeepers in the past weeks, including the ones on Oct. 29, Nov. 7 and Nov. 8, the statement said.

The council members urged all parties to take all measures to respect the safety and security of UNIFIL personnel and premises, and recalled that peacekeepers must never be the target of an attack.

 

  In the statement, they reiterated their full support to UNIFIL, underscoring its role in supporting regional stability and expressed deep appreciation to its troop-contributing countries.

 The council members voiced deep concern for civilian casualties and sufferings, the destruction of civilian infrastructure, the damage to cultural heritage sites in Lebanon and endangerment of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) world heritage sites in Baalbeck and Tyre, and the rising number of internally displaced people.

 They called on all parties to abide by international humanitarian law and fully implement Security Council resolution 1701 (2006), the statement said.
