dated July 18, 1958: U.N. team

The Observation Group in Lebanon has “access to all parts of the Frontier,” it reported on July 16. Mr. Dag Hammarskjoeld, the Secretary-General, referred to the report in a brief statement at the start of the Council meeting on July 15. The Group said that the first of these frontier areas held by the Opposition – the Ankar Plain – extended from Tripoli north and east to the Syrian border. “On the morning of July 15, the Group received the fullest assurances of complete freedom to patrol the area north of Tripoli, and to establish permanent observation posts anywhere in the area,” the observation team said. At the same time arrangements were made for the inspection by military observers of all vehicles and cargoes entering Lebanon across the northern frontier.
