A statement adopted by consensus by the 15-member council reiterates its commitment "to the full implementation of all provisions of Resolution 1701" which ended the 34-day war between Israel and Hezbollah in August 2006.
That resolution reiterates a call for the disarming of all militias and bans arms transfers to them. It calls on the government to secure its borders and entry points "to prevent the entry into Lebanon without its consent of arms or related material."
It also calls for Israel and Lebanon to support a permanent cease-fire and long-term solution based on full respect for the U.N.-drawn Blue Line along their border, security arrangements to prevent the resumption of hostilities, and the disarmament of all armed groups in Lebanon so "there will be no weapons or authority in Lebanon other than that of the Lebanese state."
The statement noted the progress and concerns expressed by Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon in his latest report on the issue. Ban highlighted in March that Israel says Hezbollah is rearming and has an arsenal that includes 10,000 long-range rockets and 20,000 short-range rockets in southern Lebanon.

Gee - why didn’t Bush think of that? It’s so simple.....
Ok, when does the flood of resolutions start??? Ten, twelve, fourteen???

And, if THAT doesn't work.....then comes stern language. That oughta do it.
If you don’t comply with our resolution we will RESOLUTION YOU AGAIN!
LOL
Sounds like my brother calling after my 3 year old nephew as he runs down the aisle in the super market.... "Devin, stop or I'll say stop again!"
You mean the U.N. still has meetings and stuff?
Your mothers were hamsters and your fathers smelt of elderberries!
If this works the UN Security Council will consider Gaza.
And also, to brush their teeth and clean their rooms.
thanks for the ping
unfortunately, we all know to well the UNs track record for getting things done
Wow, this has worked to well in the past!!
1990 was the first time Hezbollah was suppose to dis-arm. Guess they just keep mis-understanding the UN. And those nasty UN letters can really hurt a poor terrorist’s feeling of self-esteem.
Well, at least they said it. It’s better than nothing. It’s frankly more than I expected.
