La Resolución 1701 del Consejo de Seguridad de las Naciones Unidas es una resolución que tenía la intención de resolver la Guerra del Líbano de 2006 .

Fue aprobada por unanimidad por el Consejo de Seguridad de las Naciones Unidas el 11 de agosto de 2006. El gabinete libanés aprobó por unanimidad la resolución el 12 de agosto de 2006. El mismo día, el líder de Hezbollah, Hassan Nasrallah, dijo que su milicia honraría el llamado a un alto el fuego. También dijo que una vez que se detenga la ofensiva israelí, los ataques con cohetes de Hezbollah contra Israel se detendrán. El 13 de agosto, el gabinete israelí votó 24-0 a favor de la resolución, con una abstención. El alto el fuego comenzó el lunes 14 de agosto de 2006 a las 8 de la mañana, hora local, después de un aumento de los ataques de ambas partes.

En el informe de la ONU de 2015 sobre el tema, se afirma que:

La situación en la zona de operaciones de la Fuerza Provisional de las Naciones Unidas en el Líbano (FPNUL) y a lo largo de la Línea Azul se mantuvo en general en calma, a pesar del tenso contexto regional y tras el grave incumplimiento del cese de hostilidades entre el Líbano e Israel el 28 de enero. En general, a pesar de la creciente retórica de ambas partes, las autoridades libanesas e israelíes demostraron su determinación de mantener la calma a lo largo de la Línea Azul, continuaron colaborando constructivamente con la FPNUL a través de los arreglos de enlace y coordinación establecidos y reafirmaron su compromiso con la aplicación de la resolución 1701 (2006) . Sin embargo, no hubo avances en sus obligaciones pendientes en virtud de la resolución y no se avanzó hacia una cesación del fuego permanente. [1]

Resolución

La resolución pide: [2]

  • Cese total de hostilidades (OP1)
  • Israel retirará todas sus fuerzas del Líbano en paralelo con el despliegue de soldados libaneses y de la FPNUL en todo el sur (OP2)
  • Una solución a largo plazo basada en (OP8)
    • Desarme de todos los grupos armados en el Líbano (implicando a Hezbollah)
    • Ninguna otra fuerza armada que no sea la FPNUL y las libanesas (lo que implica que Hezbolá y las fuerzas israelíes) estarán al sur del río Litani.
    • No hay fuerzas extranjeras en el Líbano sin el consentimiento de su gobierno.
    • Suministro a las Naciones Unidas de todos los mapas de minas terrestres en el Líbano en poder de Israel

La Resolución al mismo tiempo también enfatiza: [2]

  • La importancia del control total del Líbano por parte del gobierno del Líbano (OP3)
  • La necesidad de abordar urgentemente la liberación incondicional de los soldados israelíes secuestrados, que han dado lugar a la crisis actual.

La resolución también reitera el firme apoyo del Consejo de Seguridad a

  • Total respeto por la Línea Azul (OP 4)
  • La integridad territorial, soberanía e independencia política del Líbano dentro de sus fronteras reconocidas internacionalmente (OP 5)

Desarme de grupos armados en el Líbano

La Resolución pide "la plena aplicación de las disposiciones pertinentes de los Acuerdos de Taif y de las resoluciones 1559 (2004) y 1680 (2006), que requieren el desarme de todos los grupos armados en el Líbano, de modo que, de conformidad con la decisión del gabinete libanés de El 27 de julio de 2006, no habrá armas ni autoridad en el Líbano que no sean las del estado libanés ".

Hezbollah

Hezbollah nació en 1985 como resultado de la ocupación israelí del sur del Líbano que comenzó en 1982 y duró hasta 2000.

El 14 de agosto, el líder de Hezbollah, Hassan Nasrallah, dijo en Al-Manar TV de Hezbollah que no estaba a favor del desarme de Hezbollah, ya que el ejército libanés no es lo suficientemente fuerte para defender el Líbano y el ejército israelí todavía ocupa el Líbano, y que su los combatientes no se verían obligados a desarmarse mediante "intimidación o presión". [3] De manera similar, después de la adopción de la resolución , el ministro de Defensa libanés , Elias Murr, dijo el 14 de agosto de 2006, en una entrevista televisiva, que "el ejército no se desplegará en el sur del Líbano para desarmar a Hezbollah". [4]

Poco después de la aprobación de la resolución, tanto la ONU como las naciones contribuyentes de la FPNUL, como Francia, renunciaron a la responsabilidad de desarmar a Hezbollah. [5] Annan afirmó que "desmantelar a Hezbollah no es el mandato directo de la ONU", lo que solo podría ayudar a Líbano a desarmar la organización. [6] Annan dijo entonces el 25 de agosto de 2006: "El entendimiento era que serían los libaneses quienes desarmarían [Hezbollah]" y que "Obviamente, si en algún momento necesitaban consejo o ayuda de la comunidad internacional y estaban para acercarse a nosotros, lo consideraríamos, pero las tropas no van a entrar allí para desarmarse ". [7]

Israel, por su parte, indicó que si Hezbollah no es desarmado como se pide en la Resolución, Israel continuará con sus esfuerzos. [4] El portavoz del Ministerio de Relaciones Exteriores de Israel, Mark Regev, dijo a Associated Press el 18 de agosto que Israel está cumpliendo sus compromisos en la resolución de alto el fuego de la ONU y espera que el Líbano haga lo mismo. "Esa resolución claramente pide la creación de una zona libre de Hezbollah al sur del río Litani , y cualquier otra cosa significaría que la resolución no se está implementando", dijo Regev a AP. [8]

Hezbollah acordó desarmar sus fuerzas al sur del río Litani, pero no retirar sus fuerzas del sur del Líbano. "Los individuos de Hezbollah son personas que viven en el sur y no abandonarán sus hogares y pueblos, pero un Hezbollah armado no estará en el sur", dijo Mohamad Chatah el 16 de agosto, un asesor principal del primer ministro libanés Siniora. La resolución 1701 de la ONU prohíbe a todas las milicias armadas operar en cualquier lugar de todo el Líbano ("sin armas ni autoridad en el Líbano que no sea la del estado libanés" y "la plena aplicación de las disposiciones pertinentes de los Acuerdos de Taif y de las resoluciones 1559 y 1680, que requieren el desarme de todos los grupos armados en el Líbano, de modo que, de conformidad con la decisión del gabinete libanés de 27 de julio de 2006,no habrá armas ni autoridad en el Líbano más que la del Estado libanés "), pero no especifica si las milicias deben desarmarse o quedar bajo el control del gobierno libanés.El secretario general de las Naciones Unidas, Kofi Annan, se reunió con la ministra de Relaciones Exteriores israelí , Tzipi Livni , quien dijo que "la pelota está ahora en la cancha del gobierno del Líbano" para garantizar que no operen milicias armadas en el sur del Líbano. [9]

El 21 de agosto, el periódico turco Hürriyet informó que las autoridades turcas interceptaron cinco aviones de carga iraníes y un avión sirio que transportaba misiles a Hezbollah. Los aviones se vieron obligados a aterrizar en el aeropuerto Diyarbakır en el sureste de Turquía. El avión no pudo despegar después de que fuentes de inteligencia estadounidenses descubrieron que había tres lanzadores de misiles y cajas de misiles C-802 a bordo de los aviones que eran idénticos al misil que golpeó al buque de la Armada israelí "Hanit" durante la guerra. Ministro de Defensa israelí Amir Peretzdijo que Israel continuará impidiendo que lleguen armas a Hezbollah desde Siria e Irán. "No permitiré que vuelva la situación que sucedió antes de la guerra", dijo Peretz durante una reunión con el ministro de Relaciones Exteriores de Turquía , Abdullah Gul . También pidió que Turquía envíe tropas a la fuerza internacional desplegada en el Líbano. [10]

En enero de 2007, el jefe de inteligencia militar israelí, mayor general. Amos Yadlin criticó tanto a Hezbollah por rearmarse como a Naciones Unidas por "no hacer nada para evitarlo o desarmarlos". [11]

Fatah

El gobierno libanés exigió que los palestinos en los campos de refugiados en la zona de Litani se desarmaran de conformidad con la resolución , dijo el 28 de agosto de 2006 , alto funcionario de Fatah en el Líbano, Monir Al-Makdah. Según se informa, el primer ministro libanés Fouad Siniora "hizo la solicitud a Fatah representante en el Líbano, Abbas Za'aki. Al-Makdah rechazó la demanda en una entrevista con el periódico jordano Al-Dostur , diciendo que la resolución del Consejo de Seguridad era ilegal ya que no incluía el derecho al retorno de los refugiados palestinos ". [12]

Nuevas tropas de la ONU para la FPNUL II

El 30 de junio de 2006, la FPNUL estaba formada por 1.990 soldados de China , Francia , Ghana , India , Irlanda , Italia , Polonia y Ucrania , apoyados por 50 observadores militares de la Organización de Supervisión de la Tregua de las Naciones Unidas y unos 400 miembros del personal civil.

Al 8 de enero de 2007, la FPNUL ha aumentado a 11.512 efectivos militares de las siguientes naciones: Bélgica (375; 394 prometidos), China (190), Dinamarca (78 buques de guerra; 150 prometidos), Finlandia (205), Francia (2000) , Alemania (1.500 barcos y aviones de vigilancia; 2.400 prometidos), [13] Ghana (660), Grecia (225), Guatemala (1), Hungría (4), India (878), Indonesia (850), Irlanda (164 ), Italia (2.415; comanda las fuerzas de la FPNUL), [14] Luxemburgo (2), Malasia (220; 360 prometidos), Nepal (234), Países Bajos (161),Noruega (134), Polonia (319), Portugal (146, ingenieros de construcción militar), Qatar (200), Eslovenia (11), España (1.277, vehículos blindados), Corea del Sur (270 fuerzas especiales comprometidas, 80 personal de apoyo comprometido) , Suecia (68, y un barco), Turquía (509), [15] y Ucrania (200), apoyados por 53 observadores militares de la Organización de Supervisión de la Tregua de la ONU y unos 308 miembros del personal civil local. [16] [17] [18] [19] [20] [21]

Other countries have been reported as willing to send troops, but have not shared troop numbers. They include: Australia, Bangladesh, Bulgaria (160 frigate crew members),[22] Latvia, Lithuania, Morocco, New Zealand, Russia (400)[13] and Thailand.

Israel indicated that it is not in favor of troops being included from countries that have offered to send troops but do not recognize Israel as a state, such as Bangladesh, Indonesia, and Malaysia.[23]

Deployment of UNIFIL II

The Resolution, in Paragraph 2, "calls upon the Government of Lebanon and UNIFIL as authorized by paragraph 11 to deploy their forces together throughout the South."

Paragraph 11 then states that Security Council decided: "that the [UNIFIL II] force shall, in addition to carrying out its mandate under resolutions 425 and 426 (1978): ... (b) Accompany and support the Lebanese armed forces as they deploy throughout the South, including along the Blue Line ... (c) Coordinate its activities related to paragraph 11(b) with the Government of Lebanon and the Government of Israel ...."

Complicating matters, Syria threatened to close their border with Lebanon if UN troops were sent in.[24]

Syrian President Bashar al-Assad also warned that deploying foreign troops along the border would be a "hostile" act against Syria.

"At the moment we are seeing some very unconstructive signals from Syria," Germany's Chancellor Angela Merkel said.[24]

As for the UN's position, however, Annan advanced the view afterward that the resolution did not require the UN to deploy UNIFIL II anywhere unless invited to do so by the Lebanese government. He said on 25 August, however: "the resolution does not require deployment of UN troops to the [Syria]n border. It indicates that, if the Lebanese government were to ask for it, we should assist. The Lebanese Government has not made any such request."[7]

Background

This resolution was based on an initial draft prepared by France and the United States. Lebanon and the Arab League pressed to have parts of the Siniora Plan, which required Israel to withdraw from southern Lebanon, included in the final resolution.

6–8 August

Lebanon's Prime Minister Fouad Siniora said on 6 August that the draft resolution was "not adequate," and House Speaker Nabih Berri, serving as a diplomatic conduit for Hezbollah, rejected the draft. The draft made no mention of Israeli forces withdrawing from Lebanon.[25]

Lebanon proposed on 7 August that it would send 15,000 troops to its southern border if Israeli troops would leave the country, handing over their positions to the UN Interim Force. The draft UN resolution called for "the immediate cessation by Hezbollah of all attacks and the immediate cessation by Israel of all offensive military operations." A second resolution would later establish an international peacekeeping force that would help Lebanon's army take control of the country's southern border, where Hezbollah had held sway since the Israeli withdrawal in 2000.[26]

The resolution stated that Israeli forces shall withdraw in parallel with the deployment of Lebanese and UNIFIL forces into the southern Lebanon, and established that the Lebanese government should have control over all Lebanese territory, and that "there will be no weapons without the consent of the government of Lebanon and no authority other than that of the government of Lebanon."

On 8 August, several changes were made to the proposal. Lebanon and its Arab League allies pressed the UN to call for an immediate Israeli withdrawal. Such a withdrawal had not been mentioned in the draft resolution; an omission that Lebanon's government and Arab League diplomats called unacceptable. The Lebanese proposal also called for Israel to temporarily give control of Shebaa Farms to the UN.[27]

9–11 August

Dan Gillerman, Israel's Ambassador to the UN, said he had problems with the idea of a UN force being deployed to stabilize the region, and pointed to the UN Interim Force in Lebanon as an example. Israel's Security Cabinet recommended that the Israeli military expand its campaign against Hezbollah in southern Lebanon.[28] Diplomats at the UN and in Beirut stepped up efforts to secure a UN resolution.

12 August

Despite the expanded ground campaign, the Israeli Security Cabinet was likely to sign off on the UN resolution at its meeting on 13 August, Israel's Ambassador to the US, Daniel Ayalon, said before the Council vote.[29] A final text of the resolution was distributed to the full UN Security Council, which unanimously accepted the resolution.

The resolution demands a full cessation of all hostilities, the release of abducted Israeli soldiers, the deployment of 15,000 international troops to police the Lebanon-Israel border—an increase from the then-current 2,000.[30] The UN troops in the area would be joined by 15,000 Lebanese troops.[31] The deal also calls for the release of two Israeli soldiers whose capture by guerrillas sparked the conflict.[29] Tzipi Livni, Israel's foreign minister, insisted that Israeli troops would remain in southern Lebanon until a multinational UN force is deployed, implying that deployment of Lebanese forces would not be sufficient for Israeli withdrawal.[32]

Initial reactions

Leaders around the world praised the agreement, while noting this was not the end of the crisis.[33] The Lebanese cabinet voted unanimously to accept the terms on 12 August. Nasrallah, in a speech televised on Hezbollah's Al-Manar television on 12 August, said: "We will not be an obstacle to any decision taken by the Lebanese government".[32]

The Israeli government accepted the terms on 13 August, but did not cease offensive actions until its deadline at 8:00 a.m. (local time) 14 August. On 13 August, Israel advanced to capture as much high-ground territory as possible before the ceasefire, and bombed targets up to 15 minutes before the deadline. Hezbollah also continued what they called "defensive operations," and vowed not to cease their operations as long as Israel occupies Lebanon.[34]

The French government criticized the rules of engagement. "I remember the unhappy experiences of other operations where UN forces had neither a sufficiently precise mission nor the means to act," French Defence Minister, Michèle Alliot-Marie, said. "You cannot send out men and tell them that they should watch what's happening but that they have no right to defend themselves or fire."[35]

Aftermath

In the UN's 2015 report on the matter, it states that:

The situation in the area of operations of the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) and along the Blue Line remained generally calm, despite the tense regional context and following the serious breach of the cessation of hostilities between Lebanon and Israel on 28 January. Overall, despite escalatory rhetoric on both sides, the Lebanese and Israeli authorities displayed resolve to maintain calm along the Blue Line, continued to engage constructively with UNIFIL through the established liaison and coordination arrangements and reaffirmed their commitment to the implementation of resolution 1701 (2006). There was no progress, however, on their outstanding obligations under the resolution and no movement towards a permanent ceasefire.[1]

It states that "Israeli violations of Lebanese airspace continued almost daily with unmanned aerial vehicles, and often with fixed-wing aircraft, including fighter jets".[1]

On the Lebanese side, it noted: "In accordance with its mandate, UNIFIL does not proactively search for weapons in the south" and "UNIFIL observed civilians with unauthorized weapons in the area of operation...Those mostly involved individuals carrying hunting weapons. However, there were a number of instances where small arms, including rifles and, at least on one occasion, rocket-propelled grenades, were fired during commemorative events, including funerals".[1]

It also noted: "The maintenance of arms by Hizbullah and other groups outside the control of the Lebanese State" violates the resolution. Hizbullah states that such weaponry "serves as a deterrent against potential aggression from Israel".[1]

In 2011, following the appointment of Najib Mikati as Prime Minister of Lebanon, the United Nations reiterated its call on Lebanon to adhere to the terms of Resolution 1701.[36]

Alleged Hezbollah violations

As of February 2009, many key points in the resolution remained insufficiently addressed. In a special report, United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon mentions that "Hezbollah continues to refuse to provide any information on the release or fate of abducted soldiers, and places conditions and demands for the release that are far outside the scope of resolution 1701," Ban wrote in the report.[37] The report also points out that Hezbollah has replenished its stock of rockets and missiles in South Lebanon, and is now in possession of 10,000 long-range rockets and 20,000 short-range projectiles.[37]

Alleged Israeli violations

The Lebanese government claims that Israel has violated the resolution over 7,000 times "by crossing Lebanese airspace," waters, and border on an almost daily basis since the implementation of the resolution.[38]

Alleged Lebanese violations

In 2009, Israel filed a complaint with the U.N. that Lebanon was not complying with the resolution after a Katyusha rocket was fired from Lebanon and landed next to a house in northern Israel and injured three people. The complaint affirmed Israel's right to defend itself and its citizens.[39] Later in 2009, when weapons that Hezbollah was hiding in a civilian home in a Lebanese town near the border of Israel exploded, both Israel and UNIFIL complained that Resolution 1701 was being violated by Lebanon and Hezbollah. The IDF estimates that the number of civilian homes in southern Lebanon that are being used to store weapons are in the hundreds.[40] Israel also criticized the Lebanese army, which is responsible for enforcing the resolution, for cooperating with Hezbollah in making sure that the evidence of the violation of the resolution had been cleared up before allowing U.N. peace keepers to do their job.[41] Two days later, fifteen Lebanese civilians from Kfar Shuba, carrying Lebanese and Hizbullah flags, crossed into the Israeli occupied Shebaa Farms.[42][43] The IDF took no action to the provocation, but stressed that it was a violation of Resolution 1701. The United Nations confirmed that Hezbollah violated the resolution and that the group is rearming.[44]
