UNIFIL Mandate

1) monitor? yes, cessation of hositilies, not so much
2) Only when the LAF lets them and not bothering the Hezzies
3) If by working with Hezzie elected leaders, check
4) Not working out so good for the Lebanese Christians
5) Complete fucking failure
6) As long as that isn’t meant to stop Syrians or Iranians, then yeah, must be working just great

Your own link shows the magical term “assist”. UNIFIL can help the Lebanese to act, but cannot act alone without exceeding their mandate. I suppose that you, as an UN-critic, are not in favor of UN troops defining their own mandates
