UN Security Council Resolution 425
United Nations Security Council Resolution 425 was adopted on March 19, 1978, establishing the United Nations Interim Forces In Lebanon (UNIFIL). The first UNIFIL troops arrived in Lebanon on March 23, 1978. The UN Secretary-General had concluded that, as of 16 June 2000, Israel had withdrawn its forces from Lebanon in accordance with resolution 425 (1978). Lebanon has not extended control over south Lebanon, though it was called on to do so by UN Resolution 1391 of 2002 (3 page PDF document)[1] and urged by UN Resolution 1496. Israel has lodged multiple complaints regarding Lebanon's conduct.
