The Council today adopted a third assistance measure under the European Peace Facility (EPF) worth €60 million to the benefit of the Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF). This assistance measure will contribute to strengthening the capacities of the LAF to enable them – in line with UN Security Council Resolution 1701 – to redeploy, secure and maintain stability in the South of Litani Sector of the country. The measure will therefore contribute to the protection of the civilian population in the region. The assistance measure will also enhance the LAF’s operational capabilities and effectiveness to contribute to national and regional security and stability, thereby allowing displaced civilians on both sides to return to their homes.
