The UN Security Council, in raising concerns about the possible trade in illegal arms across the Syrian/Lebanese border, invited UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon to send an independent mission to evaluate the supervision of the border. The alleged illegal arms movements would violate Resolution 1701, which ended last year’s 34-day conflict between Israel and Hezbollah. To ensure compliance with the resolution, the independent mission would work closely with the Lebanese Government, which the Council has recognized and encouraged in their stated determination to prevent any illegal arms trade in the region.
