UN Resolution 1701: The Blueprint for Israel-Hezbollah Ceasefire


In 2006, following a month-long conflict between Israel and Lebanon's Hezbollah militant group, the United Nations Security Council unanimously adopted Resolution 1701. This resolution aimed to end hostilities and pave the way for lasting security along the Israel-Lebanon border.

Key Provisions of Resolution 1701:

Israeli Withdrawal: Israel was required to withdraw all its forces from southern Lebanon.

Hezbollah's Position: Hezbollah was to move north of the Litani River, with the area exclusively under the Lebanese military and U.N. peacekeepers.

UN Peacekeeping Forces: The resolution called for up to 15,000 U.N. peacekeepers to help maintain calm and secure the area.

Disarmament: It reaffirmed previous resolutions calling for the disarmament of all armed groups in Lebanon, including Hezbollah.

Despite relative calm for nearly two decades, the resolution's terms were never fully enforced. Recent U.S.-brokered ceasefire efforts have renewed commitment to Resolution 1701, aiming to implement it more strictly and ensure long-term stability.
