[01] HOUSE - UN - LEBANON
The House Plenary has approved a Cabinet decision for the participation
of the Cyprus Republic in the UN peace keeping force in Lebanon and the
use of National Guard installations by European and others forces.
The UN Security Council in resolution 1701 decided to support the UN
force for Lebanon and on 16 August 2006, the Cyprus Republic submitted
to the European Union a proposal for the participation in the
peacekeeping force of two military officers. Nicosia will also put
National Guard installations at the disposal of the European forces.
The House approved the decision without any objections but called on
the government to inform periodically the parliament through bi-annual
reports. The House Defence Committee has welcomed the support of the
Republic to the humanitarian aid to the Lebanon in the past months and
its contribution as a stabilizing factor in the region.
