유엔 안전보장이사회가 11일(현지시간) 이스라엘과 헤즈볼라 양측에 적대행위의 즉각 중단을 촉구하고, 휴전 감시 등 후속조치를 이행하기 위해 1만5천명의 평화유지군을 레바논 남부 분쟁지대에 파견하는 내용의 결의문을 만장일치로 채택했다.

이에 대해 그동안 공습 등 레바논에 대한 공세를 가해온 이스라엘은 이같은 안보리 결의를 수용한다는 입장을 밝혔고, 레바논도 이의 수용을 적극 검토할 방침이어서 한 달간 계속되면서 레바논 내에서 1천명이 넘는 사망자와 1백만명이 넘는 난민 사태를 일으켰던 레바논 분쟁은 새로운 국면을 맞고 있다.

이스라엘 철군, 평화유지군 파견, 무장단체 무장해제...

12일 <로이터통신> <AP통신>과 <CNN방송>에 따르면 유엔 안보리는 미국과 프랑스가 공동제출한 결의안을 회원국 만장일치로 채택했다.

안보리는 결의문을 통해 레바논 내 분쟁 상황을 국제 평화와 안보에 대한 위협으로 규정한 뒤, 이스라엘과 헤즈볼라 양측 모두에 대해 즉각적인 적대행위를 중단을 요구했다.

아울러 레바논 정부와 유엔 평화유지군(UNIFIL)은 적대행위 중단과 함께 레바논 남부지역에 병력을 공동 배치하고, 이에 맞춰 이스라엘은 모든 병력을 이 지역에서 철수할 것을 요구했다.

안보리는 또 현재 2천명 수준인 레바논 평화유지군을 최대 1만5천명으로 증강, 휴전 감시와 남부 배치 레바논군 지원, 구호 및 난민귀환 지원 활동 등을 펼치도록 했다.

또한 이스라엘과 레바논 두 나라가 상호 국경선을 존중하고 적대행위 재발을 막기 위한 구체적인 보안조치를 취함으로써 지속적인 장기 휴전을 모색할 것을 권고했다.

안보리는 구체적으로 레바논과 이스라엘 양국이 국경선인 '블루 라인'과 레바논 내 리타니강(江) 사이에 비무장지대를 설치, 유엔 결의에 따라 현지에 배치된 레바논 정부와 유엔평화유지군 소속이 아니면 무장인력이나 자산, 무기 등을 둘 수 없도록 했다.

안보리는 또 레바논 내 모든 무장단체에 대해 무장을 해제하고 허가 없는 무기 소지나 거래를 전면 금지하는 한편 다른 나라들도 레바논 내 어떤 단체나 개인에게 무기나 탄약, 군사용 차량 및 장비, 부품 등을 팔거나 공급하는 데 자국 국민이나 영토, 선박, 항공기가 연루되지 못하도록 필요한 조치를 취하도록 했다.

안보리는 이와 함께 레바논 내 어떤 단체나 개인에게도 무기나 군사장비 등을 제조 또는 유지하는 데 필요한 기술훈련이나 지원을 못하도록 금지했으며, 레바논 정부의 동의 없이는 어떤 외국 군대도 주둔할 수 없도록 했다.

아난 유엔총장 “유엔 결의안 채택 너무 늦어” 비판

결의문은 코피 아난 유엔 사무총장에 대해 결의 채택 이후 1주일 내에 이의 이행 상황을 보고하고, 이후에도 정기적으로 상황을 설명할 것을 요청했다.

코피 아난 유엔 사무총장은 이날 안보리 회의에서 “그동안 안보리가 오랫동안 조치를 취하지 못한 데 대해 지구촌의 평화를 바라는 사람들을 좌절케 해왔으며 이같은 유엔의 무기력은 유엔의 권위와 본래 역할에 대한 믿음을 심각하게 훼손했다”며 “그동안 안보리가 결의안 채택에 이르지 못하고 있는 상황에 대해 얼마나 깊은 실망감을 느꼈는지 말하지 않는다면 이는 정말로 부주의한 것”이라며 안보리의 뒤늦은 결의안 채택을 비판하기도 했다.

안보리는 그러나 "결의문 채택이 중동지역에서 4주 이상 계속돼온 전쟁을 종식하고 평화를 회복할 가장 좋은 기회를 제공했으며 유엔이 레바논 사태 발생 후 처음으로 취한 중요한 조치"라고 평가했다.
