Evolution of relations between Hezbollah, UNIFIL and other international actors since the end of Lebanese civil war
Hurych, Vladimír ; Daniel, Jan (advisor) ; Střítecký, Vít (referee)
This bachelor thesis is concerned with the evolution of relations between Hezbollah and UNIFIL from the end of the Lebanese civil war. The first chapter deals with the impact of the civil war on the movement Hezbollah and the so-called process of lebanonisation characterized by a transformation from a terrorist to a political movement. After that I cope with the UNIFIL mission, its deployment in Lebanon and its mandate that was redefined in 2006. In the third part, I focus on the first relations between Hezbollah and UNIFIL after the end of the civil war, the change of the leadership, the process of lebanonisation and the presence of the IDF in Lebanon. Fourth chapter aims at describing the relationship after year 2000 and future cooperation of the movement with the mission. The following chapter deals with the alteration of the mission's mandate after 2006 and the impact on the relationship with Hezbollah. On one hand, this was the period when both actors carried out pragmatic cooperation but on the other hand, several occasional incidents took place between Hezbollah and UNIFIL. Therefore I focus on analyzing the events and possibilities of future mutual relationship.
