As peace along the Blue Line remains a shared aspiration, Lebanese officials and local leaders joined UNIFIL peacekeepers today in marking the International Day of Peace, which fell on Sunday, 21 September, at the UN mission’s head

Following a request from the Government of Lebanon, UNIFIL peacekeepers last week resumed humanitarian demining in southern Lebanon – nearly two years after operations were suspended due to exchanges of fire across the Blue Line.

UNIFIL effort to build the capacity of the Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF) has gathered momentum with more training activities conducted over the past week.
