8th Report on 1701: Regional Parties Forced to Accept Arms Embargo
U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon stressed in his eighth report on the implementation of Security Council Resolution 1701 the need to respect an arms embargo imposed on Lebanon and regional parties.
"Regional sides, particularly those with links to Hizbullah and other groups in Lebanon, will have to accept the arms embargo without objections," the local media quoted Ban as saying in his report which is not officially due until later this week.
On the Israeli-occupied Shebaa Farms, Ban said the United Nations will continue diplomatic efforts to seek a settlement of the issue.
