    Ich war letztens etwas arg irritiert, als ich von dieser UN-Mission erfahren habe. Da stehen 15.000 UN-Soldaten, welche die Konfliktparteien auseinander halten sollen, den Waffenstillstand überwachen sollen und so weiter auf winzigen 70km Grenze. Und dann baut die Hisbollah da ein riesiges Arsenal auf und schießt hunderte Raketen etc. nach Israel. Was macht diese Mission bitte dort, wenn nicht irgendwelche Terrormilizen vom Angriff auf andere Staaten abhalten?

      UNIFIL Mandate

      According to Security Council resolutions 425 (1978) and 426 (1978) of 19 March 1978, UNIFIL was established to:

      • Confirm the withdrawal of Israeli forces from southern Lebanon.
      • Restore international peace and security.
      • Assist the Government of Lebanon in ensuring the return of its effective authority in the area.

      According to Security Council resolution 1701 (2006) of 11 August 2006, UNIFIL, in addition to carrying out its mandate under resolutions 425 and 426, shall:

      • Monitor the cessation of hostilities.
      • Accompany and support the Lebanese armed forces as they deploy throughout the South, including along the Blue Line, as Israel withdraws its armed forces from Lebanon.
      • Coordinate its activities referred to in the preceding paragraph (above) with the Government of Lebanon and the Government of Israel.
      • Extend its assistance to help ensure humanitarian access to civilian populations and the voluntary and safe return of displaced persons.
      • Assist the Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF) in taking steps towards the establishment between the Blue Line and the Litani river of an area free of any armed personnel, assets and weapons other than those of the Government of Lebanon and of UNIFIL deployed in this area.
      • Assist the Government of Lebanon, at its request, in securing its borders and other entry points to prevent the entry in Lebanon without its consent of arms or related materiel.

      By this resolution, the Council also authorized UNIFIL to take all necessary action in areas of deployment of its forces and as it deems within its capabilities, to ensure that its area of operations is not utilized for hostile activities of any kind; to resist attempts by forceful means to prevent it from discharging its duties under the mandate of the Security Council; and to protect United Nations personnel, facilities, installations and equipment, ensure the security and freedom of movement of United Nations personnel, humanitarian workers and, without prejudice to the responsibility of the Government of Lebanon, to protect civilians under imminent threat of physical violence. In its resolution 1773 (2007), the Security Council acknowledged the role played by UNIFIL and the LAF in helping to establish a new strategic environment in southern Lebanon and looked forward to increased cooperation between the two forces in the discharge of UNIFIL’s mandate. In resolution 2373 (2017), the Security Council called for an “accelerated” and “durable” deployment of the LAF in southern Lebanon and the territorial waters of Lebanon, and increased support of and coordination with the LAF. It also asked for enhanced reporting to the Council on UNIFIL’s activities. In line with resolutions 2433 (2018) and 2485 (2019), LAF and UNIFIL efforts in the framework of the Strategic Dialogue are currently focused on the deployment of the LAF Model Regiment in UNIFIL’s area of operation and the development of a strategy for a phased transition of the responsibilities of Maritime Task Force to the Lebanese Navy.

      At the request of the Government of Lebanon, the UNIFIL mandate is renewed annually by the Security Council.


      Ich denke der wesentliche Punkt ist, dass UNFIL die libanesische Armee unterstützen sollte. Durch den Bürgerkrieg in Syrien und die anhaltende Wirtschafts und zuletzt Staatskrise war Libanon aber nie in der Lage, die eigenen Aktivitäten dafür durchzuführen.

      Ansonsten ist UNFIL eben auch ein klassisches “Meathshield”, unter der Annahme, dass die Weltgemeinschaft entsprechende Attacken auf UNFIL ahnden würde. Die Hisbollah hat m.W. UNFIL bisher nicht angegriffen. Die IDF fühlt sich offensichtlich sicher genug das zu tun.

        Die Hisbollah braucht die UNFIL ja nicht anzugreifen - sie nutzt sie ja anscheinend sogar als menschliches Schutzschild und wenn die 15.000 Soldaten eh nichts gegen sie machen, dann muss man sie ehrlicherweise auch abziehen.

          Die IDF behauptet UNFIL würde von der Hisbollah als menschliche Schutzschilde genutzt werden. Diese Behauptung kennen wir schon zur Genüge aus Gaza.

          ich habe mir die Pressestatements auf der UNFIl website aus den letzten Monate angesehen. Dort wird kritisiert, dass die IDF sich direkt neben UNFIl aufgebaut hat, was als “nutzen als Schutzschild” gewertet werden kann/sollte. Ähnliche Vorwürfe an die Hisbollah konnte ich in den Statements nicht finden.

          https://unifil.unmissions.org/unifil-statement-6-october-2024

          UNIFIL is deeply concerned by recent activities by the IDF immediately adjacent to the Mission’s position 6-52, southeast of Marun ar Ras (Sector West), inside Lebanese territory. The IDF has been repeatedly informed of this ongoing situation through regular channels.

          This is an extremely dangerous development. It is unacceptable to compromise the safety of UN peacekeepers carrying out their Security Council-mandated tasks.

          UNIFIL urgently reminds all actors of their obligations to protect UN personnel and property.

          Das letzte mal, dass UNFIL über Angriffe auf seine Positionen vor den jüngsten israelischen Angriffen berichtete war am 28/29. Oktober 2023. Ebenso ein Raketentreffer am 15. Oktober 2023. Für keine der Angriffe wurde der Angreifer attribuiert.
