EU Support Mission in Lebanon
A new EU security mission to train the Lebanese Army and Internal Security Forces and support monitoring and anti-smuggling efforts. It matters to Lebanese readers because it comes as UNIFIL's mission nears its end.
The EU Support Mission in Lebanon is a non-combat security mission approved by the Council of the European Union with an initial three-year mandate. It aims to strengthen the capabilities of the Lebanese Army and Internal Security Forces in monitoring, training and anti-smuggling, and does not undertake peacekeeping tasks or replace UNIFIL. It was created as UNIFIL's operations near their end, making it central to discussions about the future of security arrangements in the south.
