BRUSSELS, Belgium - U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan said Friday he believed he would be able to persuade European countries to supply enough troops for the 15,000 peacekeeping
"I came with the hope that I will leave Brussels with a large number of soldiers," Annan told reporters before an emergency meeting of European Union foreign ministers got under way. A U.N. cease-fire resolution calls for the force in Lebanon, known as UNIFIL, to expand from 2,000 troops to 15,000.
French President Jacques Chirac, who on Thursday pledged to deploy a total of 2,000 troops from his country, said he believed the territory in question was too small to require 15,000 troops.
"My feeling is that the figure that was put forward at the beginning of discussions — 15,000 for a reinforced UNIFIL — was a figure that was quite excessive," he said.
About 150 French soldiers — an engineering team — came ashore Friday at Naqoura in southern Lebanon. They joined 250 of their countrymen already in Lebanon and raised to 2,200 the number of U.N. peacekeepers already in the south.
Most of the EU's 25 members have been reluctant to take part in the peacekeeping effort because of uncertainty about the conditions under which troops would be authorized to use force.
But Chirac's pledge, along with his offer to continue leading the force, is almost certain to generate momentum for a breakthrough at the meeting of EU foreign ministers. Chirac cited the bolstered U.N. mandate as the chief reason to greatly increase France's troop presence.
Italy, has already pledged to provide up to 3,000 soldiers — the largest contingent so far. Besides France, other nations considering contributions include Spain, Denmark, Hungary, Germany, and Greece.
On Friday, the Belgian government — which also had hesitated on making a commitment — said it would now contribute troops. Prime Minister Guy Verhofstadt said Belgium's contribution to the U.N. force in Lebanon could reach almost 400 and be in place by October. The Belgian contingent would include de-mining, medical and reconstruction units, he said.
The U.N. has appealed for European troops to balance pledges from several Muslim countries so the force will be broadly acceptable to both the Israelis and Lebanese. Annan will brief the ministers on preparations for dispatching the additional blue helmets.
"I am confident that Europe will provide the necessary support to expand the UNIFIL force to help the government of Lebanon extend its control over all Lebanese territory," EU Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso said Thursday.
For Europe's prestige, the stakes are high. A broad EU agreement on sending in a substantial peacekeeping force would boost the bloc's ambitions to rival the United States as a global player. Failure would reinforce perceptions that it talks big but can't act.
The United States has explicitly ruled out participation in the peacekeeping force.
UNIFIL, in place since the 1970s, has been widely considered ineffectual and has been dogged by a vague mandate.
Ambiguities remain in the recent U.N. resolution, but it does considerably clarify the rules of engagement, authorizing an expanded U.N. force to "to take all necessary action" to prevent hostile activities wherever peacekeepers are stationed.
The peacekeepers are to help 15,000 Lebanese troops extend their authority into southern Lebanon, which has been controlled by Hezbollah, as Israel withdraws its soldiers.
Sporadic violence has marked the U.N.-brokered cease-fire in Lebanon that took hold Aug. 14 and ended 34 days of ferocious fighting, but the truce has thus far held.
The Europeans, who have bitter memories of their troops being humiliated while serving under weak U.N. mandates in Rwanda and the Balkans, generally agree that the new UNIFIL will not forcibly disarm Hezbollah, but will only oversee a political solution that would induce the militia to turn in its weapons to the Lebanese army.
Similarly, they are unlikely to agree to any further tasks, such as deploying forces along the Lebanon-Syria border in order to interdict possible arms supplies to Hezbollah.
