"They express their gravest concern that the basic objectives of Security Council resolution 425 (1978) have not yet been achieved.

"The members of the Council take note of the consultations initiated by the Secretary-General with the parties concerned and others with a s efforts to expedite the reimbursement of the advances of funds made by the contributor countries.

"They note with interest the instructions given by the Secretary-General to the Commander of UNIFIL to keep under continuous review all the possibilities of varying the size and deployment of contingents if that would strengthen their security without jeopardizing the effectiveness of the Force. They request the Secretary-General to study these possibilities in consultation with the contributing countries and to put appropriate measures into effect.

"In that regard, they have noted with satisfaction the intention expressed by the Lebanese authorities to deploy a regular unit of their army in the UNIFIL zone to work in close liaison with the Force in accordance with the provisions of resolution 425 (1978).

"Once again, the members of the Security Council urge all the parties concerned to give full support to the Force in the fulfilment of its mandate and also call for an end to any military presence in southern Lebanon which is not accepted by the Lebanese authorities.  They call on the Secretary-General to intensify his efforts to secure the full and affective implementation of resolution 425 (1978)."
