Jezik: | Angleški jezik | Opis: | Throughout entire history, human society has been accompanied by a struggle for living space, territory, resources and dominance of one entity over another. All these aspirations consequently influenced on security of individuals, society and the entire international community. The Middle East, predominantly Lebanon, has felt these consequences since the end of the Second World War. Due to constant armed conflicts, either internally induced or caused by military interventions of other countries, Lebanon has become a synonym for violence and everlasting political disputes. Shocks, Lebanese society was experiencing because of all the mentioned factors, required the international community to take action and reestablish conditions for solving urgent and complex problems peacefully, without the use of force. In 1948, the International Community, led by United Nations (UN), made a decision, to establish the first peacekeeping operation in the restless Middle East, although no such peace-keeping operations were never either mentioned in the UN charter, or carried out in practice. Without any previous experiences, but with great expectations, a new and extremely important chapter in the resolution of international disputes led by the UN began. The final assignment exposes problems of solving complex international relations and security political circumstances, with the help of UN security mechanisms, based on activity of its oldest still operating UNTSO OGL mission in southern Lebanon. By analysing historical and current factors of the secure environment, we answer the question of mission's successfulness and its perspective in stabilizing security situations in the wider region of Lebanon. One of conclusions led us to a decision, that presence and successfulness in carrying out mission%s tasks in this particular region, has a long-term importance in regulating the accumulated security and political problems, as well as fragile peace maintenance. For the entire international community, and mostly the UN, this continues to represent a major challenge in solving a complex security labyrinth, which has recently been heavily influenced by turbulent Syria, and numerous other involved parties like Iran, Israel, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, the United States and the Russian Federation. It seems that Middle East security is just a perception that everyone involved in the area understands completely different. Until that is the case, a major shift towards the "solution of the problem", based on our research, is not in perspective. | Ključne besede: | UNTSO, UNIFIL, military observer, Lebanon, Middle East |
