Despite Former External Affairs Minister Donald Jamieson's claim that Canada had "been the Number One peace-keeping country in the world," Canadian participation in the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (U.N.I.F.I.L.) in 1978 was limited to the initial period of six months and solely for logistic support. The cautious position taken by the Liberal government is understandable in view of the volatile situation prevailing in Lebanon for a number of years and the many uncertainties confronting U.N.I.F.I.L., which since its inception has been called "the most difficult peace-keeping operation ever launched by the Organization."

Um die Notwendigkeit und ggf. das Ausmaß der Beteiligung von UN-Truppen an Sicherheitsgarantien für Israel im Südlibanon einschätzen zu können, werden die bisherigen Erfahrungen Israels mit UNIFIL (UN Interim Force in Lebanon) analysiert. Der Autor gelangt zu dem Schluß, daß unter den gegebenen Bedingungen - Rückzug der israelischen Truppen ohne israelisch-libanesisches Sicherheitsabkommen - die Präsenz von UNIFIL oder ähnlichen UN-Kräften im Südlibanon das israelische Sicherheitsinteresse nicht befriedigt.

The article is devoted to the study of the specifics of the negotiation process in the multilateral (within the framework of the UN Security Council, the European Union) and bilateral (direct parties to the conflict and related parties, the UN and countries that supply contingents to UN peacekeeping operations) formats regarding the formation of the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon -II (UNIFIL-II) in 2006. Particular attention is paid to the analysis of two approaches to resolving the conflict that arose in connection with the Israeli military operation in 2006 against Hezbollah and accordingly the approach to the formation of peacekeeping forces (regarding their composition, mandate, operational command), which were represented by Israel, the United States, Britain on the one hand, and Lebanon and France on the other. It has been proven that the formation of UNIFIL-II was the result of reaching compromise in the negotiation process.
