Aoun Condemns Israeli Violations, Urges Implementation of U.N. Resolution 1701
President Michel Aoun stressed Thursday Lebanon's keenness on the implementation of U.N. resolution 1701, during a farewell meeting with UNIFIL Force Commander General Stefano Del Col.
"Lebanon adheres to its rights and to its full sovereignty by land, sea and air," Aoun said, urging the United Nations to pressure Israel to stop its "repeated violations of Lebanon's sovereignty."
Del Col who has completed his mission in Lebanon, for his part, wished to return one day as a tourist and to find clear and properly drawn borders between Lebanon and Israel rather than a blue line.

As he is so keen, then perhaps he can inform the Lebanese government and people how exactly does he intend to enforce the implementation that portion of Resolution 1701 which forbids non-governmental organisations (Hizballah) from bearing arms, or for them to be south of the Litani. Once he has implemented the Lebanese part of the Resolution, only then will he be entitled to complain about Israeli non-compliance.
