Restrictive measures in relation to the UN Security Council Resolution 1701 (2006) on Lebanon

Overview

On 7 August 2006, the Government of Lebanon decided to deploy the Lebanese armed forces in South Lebanon and to request the assistance of additional forces for the UN Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) as needed, to facilitate the entry of the Lebanese armed forces into the region. On 11 August 2006, with a view to enabling the Government of Lebanon to exercise its full sovereignty over all Lebanese territory, so 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, the UN Security Council adopted an embargo on all arms transfers to Lebanon not authorized by the Government of Lebanon or the UN Interim Force in Lebanon. Adopted by: UN. No persons or entities are currently designated under this regime.
