These violations constitute a breach of the relevant Security Council resolutions, the most recent of which is resolution 1583 (2005), and go against your repeated calls to desist, most recently in your report S\/2005\/36 of 20 January 2005. Lebanon depends upon the United Nations to compel Israel to desist from these violations, which constitute a threat to international peace and security, and holds Israel responsible for the consequences that could result. <\/p><\/div>\n<div style=\"color:#000000;text-align:justify;padding-top:11px;font-size:11pt;font-family:Times New Roman, serif;\">\n<p
