Letter dated 24 July 2000 from UN
Secretary-General addressed to the President of
the Security Council
Further to my report on the United Nations
Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) of 20 July 2000
(S/2000/718), I have the honour to inform you
that the Israeli authorities have removed all
violations of the line of withdrawal. Further, in
a meeting with Mr. Terje Roed-Larsen, my Special
Envoy, President Lahoud and Prime Minister Hoss
today gave their consent to the full deployment
of UNIFIL. President Lahoud confirmed this
decision to me in a subsequent telephone
conversation. The Force's deployment will take
place on 26 July and is to be immediately
followed by the deployment of the composite
Lebanese unit referred to in paragraph 21 of my
report of 16 June 2000 (S/2000/590).
Major-General Obeng, the UNIFIL Force Commander,
discussed with the Lebanese military authorities
today the operational details of the deployment.
I should be grateful if you would bring this
matter to the attention of the members of the
Security Council.
(Signed) Kofi A. Annan
