    SUBJECT: FINLAND SEEKS TO CONTRIBUTE 200 TROOPS TO UNIFIL

    REF: SECSTATE 134133

    Classified By: Polchief Gregory Thome, Reasons 1.4 (b and d).

    ¶1. (SBU) Finnish MFA Secretary of State (D Equivalent) Pentti
    Torstila told Ambassador Ware Aug. 15 that Finland will seek
    to provide up to 200 additional troops for enhanced UNIFIL
    operations in Southern Lebanon.  Confirming public comments
    made by President Tarja Halonen, Torstila explained that the
    GOF's annual PKO budget (roughly USD 100 million) has already
    been appropriated for 2006 and largely committed for 2007;
    therefore supporting Finland's UNIFIL contribution will
    require a special authorization from Parliament.  However,
    the GOF is confident of Parliamentary approval and hopes the
    troops could be made available no later than October.

    ¶2. (SBU) Torstila agreed with Ambassador that the
    international community must now unite behind a second UNSC
    resolution that authorizes UNIFIL to enforce the provisions
    of UNSC Resolution 1559.  Finland, which currently has
    soldiers in Lebanon and recently lost an officer when an
    Israeli airstrike hit a UNIFIL position, has no illusions
    about the how difficult it will be to disarm Hezbollah.
    Torstila underscored the need for the UN Security Council to
    move quickly to give UNIFIL a very strong "peace enforcement"
    mandate.  Currently, he said, UNIFIL has "failed to do its
    job" because of a "vague" mandate inadequate for the task at
    hand.

    ¶3. (C) Finally, Torstila acknowledged that the larger EU
    member states must demonstrate leadership by making
    significant troop contributions to UNIFIL.  Because of the
    lead role France has taken (along with the US) at the UNSC --
    as well as France's overall military capacity as compared to
    other EU states -- the French "have to take a strong role."
    However, he expressed some concern that the French have
    suddenly become reluctant to share information with EU
    partners regarding their potential UNIFIL role and
    contributions.  "Most of my information on French thinking
    comes from newspaper reports," he noted with some
    frustration.   Germany's response thus far has also been
    disappointing, and Torstila pointed to the Israeli Prime
    Minister's personal efforts to assure Berlin that "historical
    factors" between Germany and Israel are no issue and German
    troops would be welcome.  Although individual EU member
    states will make their own national troop contributions to
    UNIFIL (as opposed to EU troops under ESDP), the GOF is still
    planning, in its EU Presidenc capacity, to discuss UNIFIL
    troop contributionswith Germany, France, Italy and its
    Nordic partnrs in the coming days.
