"The Syrian Arab Republic, other regional states and the Islamic
Republic of Iran have a particular responsibility to ensure that the
provisions related to the arms embargo of resolution 1701 ... are fully
respected," Ban said.
Aangezien Syrië en Iran de resolutie op grote schaal schenden, zullen zij waarschijnlijk wat sterker moeten worden 'aangemoedigd' om zich eraan te houden.
According to the report, the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon
also reported increased violations of Lebanese airspace by the Israel
Air Force.
Via deze onbemande verkenningsvluchten komt Israël aan informatie over de schendingen. Of dacht Ban Ki Moon dat Syrië en Iran de hoeveelheden gesmokkelde wapens aan Israël melden? In plaats van Israël hierover te bekritiseren, zou de VN zelf zijn inlichtingen moeten verbeteren.

Ban: UN Resolution 1701 has been breached
By Shlomo Shamir, Haaretz Correspondent and News Agencies
Secretary-General of the United Nations Ban Ki-moon expressed "deep concern" Friday that Lebanon's continuing internal political instability will hinder its implementation of UN Security Council Resolution 1701, the ceasefire agreement that ended the Second Lebanon War, which calls for the disarmament of all militant groups in the region near the country's border with Israel.
Ban issued a report to the UN Security Council on Friday saying that Syria and Iran are transferring anti-tank and anti-aircraft weapons across the Syria-Lebanon border to militant group Hezbollah. The UN chief submitted the report after receiving information from both Israel and Lebanon regarding blatant violations of the resolution.
Israeli sources had informed Ban that Syria and Iran have been transferring sophisticated weaponry across the border on a weekly basis, including long-range rockets and anti-tank and anti-aircraft defence systems. Beirut briefed Ban on a sighting of four trucks laden with rockets heading for an outpost of the radical Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine General Command in Lebanon.
"Weapons shipments on this scale would allow Hezbollah to reach a level of armament equal to that of last year," the report says, referring to the Second Lebanon War between Israel and Hezbollah in July 2006.
The report said Syria has denied any involvement in the arms transfers into Lebanon.
"The Lebanon government has stated to me that it has a vital interest in controlling its borders to prevent the smuggling of arms, munitions and personnel into its territory," Ban said in the report.
"The Syrian Arab Republic, other regional states and the Islamic Republic of Iran have a particular responsibility to ensure that the provisions related to the arms embargo of resolution 1701 ... are fully respected," Ban said.
"I urge the Syrian Arab Republic to do more to control its border with Lebanon and look forward to specific proposals from the Syrian authorities," he said.
According to the report, the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon also reported increased violations of Lebanese airspace by the Israel Air Force.
