 US, UN Mull International Force at Shaba - UN Security Council - Global Policy Forum
Lebanon's claim that Shaba is Lebanese forms the foundation for its insistence that Hezbollah is not a foreign armed force on its soil, but rather a national liberation movement legitimately trying to liberate Lebanese territory from foreign occupation.
When Israel withdrew from Lebanon in 2000, the UN accepted Israel's claim that Shaba is Syrian, essentially part of the Golan Heights, and declared that it had fully implemented UN resolutions demanding its withdrawal from Lebanon.
Arab sources in Israel say the Americans and the UN are looking into the possibility of an Israeli withdrawal from Shaba, with the area becoming demilitarized or a UN force moving in.

 Let Assad have the Shaba Farms
The United Nations has in its possession numerous, and sometimes peculiar, documents whose purpose is to prove that the Shaba Farms are indeed Lebanese, and not Syrian.
These documents include building permits issued to contractors via the Lebanese authorities, sheepherding licenses issued to Lebanese shepherds, kushans (land ownership certificates) in the name of Lebanese entrepreneurs, plus hundreds more documents which, the Lebanese government hopes, will show that the area is indeed under its control.
If Israel is convinced that the Shaba Farms do not contribute to its security, it could, for example, suggest to Syria, rather than to Lebanon, that it take them back in exchange for the Lebanese army deploying along its border with Israel.

Lieutenant Colonel Thomas P. Odom's study, Shaba II The French and Belgian Intervention in Zaire in 1978, presents a historical analysis of the 1978 invasion of Shaba province by the exiled Katangan Gendarmerie.
The 1978 operations in Shaba should not be dismissed as something unusual or unlikely to reoccur, nor should they be discounted as European operations of little interest to U.S. planners.
Among those dismissed were Ngunza Karl I. Bond, the chief of staff of the FAZ; his adviser, Bizeni-Mans; Munguya-Mbenge, the former Shaba province commissioner; the chief of the Lunda; and Colonel Mampa Ngua, the chief of staff of the FAZ ground forces.
