	United Nations Security Council Resolution 1559 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		On October 7, 2004 the UN Secretary General Kofi Annan reported to the Security Council regarding the lack of compliance with Resolution 1559.
		The January 20, 2005 UN Secretary-General's report on Lebanon stated that "The continually asserted position of the Government of Lebanon that the Blue Line is not valid in the Shab'a farms area is not compatible with Security Council resolutions.
		UN Secretary General Kofi Annan called on the Lebanese government "to extend its control over all its territory, to exert its monopoly on the use of force, and to put an end to all such attacks" [6].

	Al-Ahram Weekly \| Opinion \| Putting Prudence before posturing
		The main assumption of UN Security Council (UNSC) Resolution 1559 is that Lebanon is a state under occupation, a country ripped asunder by militia.
		Resolution 1559 is a political defeat for Syria, but it is Lebanon that is in immediate danger.
		The resolution is legally questionable, as it involves a clear violation of Clause 7 of Article 2 (chapter I) of the UN Charter, which prohibits intervention in internal matters of UN member states except in cases defined in chapter VII.

		The resolution also called for the disbanding and disarmament of all militias, which prohibited the government from exerting its full sovereignty.
		Resolution 1559 also called for implementation of previous resolutions concerning Lebanon's territorial integrity and political independence.

		The two sides discussed the implementation of Security Council resolution 1559, which calls for the strict respect of Lebanon's sovereignty and political independence, the withdrawal of foreign forces, and the disarming and disbanding of militias in the country, the statement said.
		UN special envoy Terje Roed-Larsen lauded Lebanon as the only country in the region offering a "glimpse of hope" for establishing democracy in a currently "dangerous situation." Speaking from Beirut's airport upon his arrival in Lebanon, Larsen said, "For many years, the center of gravity in the region's politics was the Israeli-Arab conflict.
		This recommendation came in a report he had submitted to the UN Security Council on Tuesday and concentrated on a report by the UN consultant Nicola Michael who was dispatched by Annan to Beirut in January this year for this purpose.

		U.N. Security Council Resolution 425 was issued five days after the Israeli invasion to Lebanon on March 14, 1978 in what was referred to as Operation Litani.
		The UN Secretary-General concluded that, as of June 16, 2000, Israel had indeed withdrawn its forces from Lebanon, in accordance with resolution 425 (1978).
		Israel says, and the UN agrees, that Shebaa Farms is Syrian and not Lebanese, and therefore it is not included under resolution 425.

	The Road to UN Security Council Resolution 1559
		Voted back in September by the highest international body and backed by a unanimous letter issued by the Presidency of the UN Security Council, 30 days later, this resolution has set the new context of Lebanon's future: that is free from all foreign forces and of armed militias.
		However, the text that would become the model for resolution 1559 was touched and reshaped by members of the WLCU and ALC, including Jacksonville-based Attorney Joanne Fakhre as well as a behind the scene diplomat from Lebanese descent.
		In summary, the road to UNSCR 1559 was a piece of art, diplomatic maze and perseverance on behalf of all those who took part in it.

		The United States and France led the Secrity Council in passing Resolution 1559 as a result of the extension of Emile Lahoud's presidency by three years, a step perceived as unacceptable Syrian intervention in Lebanese internal politics.
		A comparison of the main points of the Taif Accord and those of Resolution 1559 shows that in principle there are no significant differences between the two documents regarding the main issues of the current internal Lebanese political and international agenda.
		That is part of the detailed security program of the national reconciliation government, which is to be implemented within the period of one year with the objective of gradually spreading Lebanese sovereignty to all Lebanese territory.

		All of us that are seized with this issue, and that includes the United States, the Secretary General, members of the Security Council, members of the countries in the region, are of one view, and that view is that 1559, Resolution 1559, should be implemented in all its parts.

	The U.S.-French Draft UN Resolution on Lebanon: Strengths and Weaknesses - Dore Gold
		In the UN system, a resolution being proposed to the Security Council is called a "draft resolution" until it is adopted; only then does it become a numbered resolution.
		It should be noted that the draft resolution empowers Secretary-General Annan "to develop, in liaison with key international actors and the concerned parties, proposals" to implement UN resolutions like UN Security Council Resolution 1559 that calls for the disarmament of Lebanese militias.
		This is not just a legal issue, for the draft resolution clearly traces the current crisis in Lebanon to Hizballah's attack on Israel on July 12, 2006, describing the abduction of Israeli solders as one of the "causes" of the conflict.

		ISN SECURITY WATCH (05/10/04) - As the UN prepares to discuss an unusually blunt report it released last Friday criticizing Syria for failing to respect Lebanonâs sovereignty, analysts and diplomats say that while sanctions against Syria are unlikely at this point, the status quo that has lasted for the past decade appears to be crumbling.
		Last Friday, UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan said that Syria had violated the US-French sponsored UN Security Council Resolution 1559, which calls on Syria to withdraw its forces from Lebanon and to dismantle all Lebanese and non-Lebanese armed groups.
		Annan said that Lebanese officials had assured him of their intent to disarm all militias and terrorist groups, but also informed him that "the fragile security situation in the region, the risk to Lebanon's stability, and the lack of a comprehensive regional peace process would make it difficult to implement the resolution immediately and fully".
