Restoring international peace and security in Lebanon.

That's an exact quote from the preceding resolution 425

No where in 1701 or any where else does it say "buffer and monitoring". That's you editorializing, it's not in the text of 1701.

You should do a better job making clear what's your opinion and what's in the actual text.

Thanks.

FYI here are all the relevant resolutions about Lebanon attacking Israel.

Recalling all its previous resolutions on Lebanon, in particular resolutions 425 (1978), 426 (1978), 520 (1982), 1559 (2004), 1655 (2006) 1680 (2006) and 1697 (2006), as well as the statements of its President on the situation in Lebanon, in particular the statements of 18 June 2000 (S/PRST/2000/21), of 19 October 2004 (S/PRST/2004/36), of 4 May 2005 (S/PRST/2005/17), of 23 January 2006 (S/PRST/2006/3) and of 30 July 2006


AND 1701.
