Institution
UNIFIL
The UN Interim Force in Lebanon, tasked with peacekeeping and monitoring the Lebanon-Israel border. Its presence is central in south Lebanon, and its mandate is ending soon, raising fears of a security vacuum.
UNIFIL was established by UN Security Council Resolution 425 in 1978 following Israel's invasion of Lebanon. Its mandate is to monitor the cessation of hostilities and support the Lebanese Army in securing the border. After the 2006 war, the Security Council strengthened its mandate through Resolution 1701. Today, as its mission nears its end, it warns of a security vacuum in the south.
