Resolution 1701
A few links:
- A take on the likely aftermath of Resolution 1701, in which it's argued that Israel's military assault on Lebanon has backfired strategically (the opposite view to what I argued in my last post on the subject)
- The text of Resolution 1701, which is short and interesting
- A Lateline transcript discussing the practicalities of UN troop deployments in South Lebanon courtesy of crashing_buses
- A different discussion of Resolution 1701 saying that yes, the UN is an instrument of US hegemony
- A similar-minded article (both are via _bigjobbies_ from the US newsletter Counterpunch) about the viability of reopening the "Palestine Question" under the auspices of the UN as opposed to the US in the current political climate
