The UN presents to the Security Council proposals for the establishment of a new UN force in Lebanon after the end of UNIFIL's mandate on December 31.
UN Under-Secretary-General for Peace Operations Jean-Pierre Lacroix:
- The proposals include a task to monitor and prepare reports, provide humanitarian aid and support to the Lebanese army.
Lebanon still needs international support, and the organization is awaiting the Security Council's decision on the future of the international presence.
