         5.While all concerned indicated their wish that the present cease fire be maintained, it is apparent that serious impediments remain in the way of UNIFIL fulfilling the objectives set out for it by the Council. This applies in particular to the further deployment of UNIFIL in its entire area of operations up to the international border. The Government of Lebanon has, in this connection, strongly reiterated its view that a phased programme of activities should be set in motion to achieve. in full, that mandate entrusted to the Force. The details of such a programme have been extensively discussed with the Lebanese Government. They call, on the one hand for steps to be taken by the Lebanese Government, with the assistance of UNIFIL to increase its military and civilian presence in the South with a view "to ensuring the return of its effective authority to this area". They also envisage the maintenance of the cease-fire, the consolidation of the UNIFIL area of deployment, and the further deployment of the Force in accordance with its mandate.

         6.- In regard to the latter consideration, it is the strong recommendation of the Force Commander, and also the wish of the Lebanese Government, that the ceiling for UNIFIL troops should be increased by no less than 1,000 to reinforce present operations as well as to make further deployment possible in a manner that conforms with resolution 425 (1978). As was indicated in my predecessor's report to the Security Council (S/I4789), there is no question that UNIFIL, in its present strength. is stretched to the limit and, indeed, seriously over-strained. In these circumstances and for the reasons that the Force Commander has given, I fully support the recommendation for an increase by 1,000 of the troop-strength of UNIFIL and hope that the Council will concur in this measure.

         7. - The key to fulfillment of the objectives of the Council, remains the full cooperation of the parties. The present cease fire, while critically important, is precarious and was never intended to be a substitute for the fulfillment of UNlFlL's mandate. It is essential therefore that the parties heed the call of the Council in its consecutive resolutions on this question. I also very much hope that the members the Council will extend their fullest support to the attainment of this end, which is to ensure "strict respect for the territorial integrity sovereignty and political independence of Lebanon within its internationally recognized boundaries"
