UNIFIL's Maritime Task Force (MTF) has been collaborating with the Lebanese Armed Forces Navy (LAF-N) to enhance maritime security capabilities through training both at sea and in educational settings. A joint operational framework established in December outlines the LAF-N's progressive assumption of maritime security responsibilities through 2026.
The MTF, operational since October 2006 under Security Council Resolution 1701, aids the LAF-N in monitoring territorial waters and securing the coast to prevent unauthorized maritime activities. Effective patrolling of Lebanon's 110 nautical miles of coastline is a key objective of this mission, which includes support for the development of Lebanon's naval forces. Improved readiness and coordination are critical for achieving these maritime goals, indicating a broader impact on national stability.
