Abstract
This study attempts to examine selected Hizbullah rhetoric concerning future peacebuilding and state-building within Lebanon. Hizbullah's leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, following the end of the Israeli occupation in 2000, the 2006 July War, and the subsequent enhancement of UNFIL and current developments in the South, frequently hints at the possibilities of a peaceful solution in relation to UNIFIL, UN Security Council Resolutions 1559 and 1701, and foreign policy intervention. Hizbullah's changing face of terrorism'14 will become evident, as well as international pressure on the Lebanese government to force the party to disarm. Looking at these few selected sources, perhaps one can see the outlines of a viable foreign policy to integrate the Resistance into the army, while Hizbullah can continue being the political party it is today. On the other hand, building a state based on national unity, sovereignty and state institutions that cover all regions is far from the current reality. Would Nasrallah let the government take over vital areas of social services if they were capable? If the state takes out the garbage and builds schools, would this loss of power bring more resistance, or would the Hizbullah institutions merge with the public sector?
 
Dette studiet hadde som hensikt å undersøke utvalgte taler og manifest fra Hizbullah, for å finne freds retorikken, og en mulig fredlig løsning på konfliktene i Libanon. Det har blitt understreket, at det som tidligere var uoppnåelige krav fra Hizbullah, bl. de fire blødende sår': fanger i Israel, Israelske overflygnnger, mangel på kart over miner og klasebomber og den siste, okkuperte områder, selv om disse nå i dagens politiske bevegelser, kunne ha blitt oppfylt, gjenstår det en hovednøkkel til Hizbullah's mulige avvæpning og overgang til å være et rent politisk parti; nemlig mangelen på en fungerende regjerning, og statens manglende evne til å yte forsvar og samfunnssikkerhet. Hezbollah's General Sekretær Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah har sagt en fredlig løsning/ resolusjon er en seier for motstandsbevegelsen". Som med de fleste taler til Nasrallah, skal de taes med et klype salt, og alvorlig, simultant. Nasrallah holder som oftest det han lover, som kan sees gjentatte ganger i den siste tid. FN's innsats og mandater i landet synes å være svak utrustet med lokal kontekst, uoppnåelige krav og fraværet av et holistisk tilnærmning. Til tross for stempelet som terror-organisajon' er Hezbollah en relativ demokratisk politisk parti, en massiv velferdsstats institisjon, og en uungåelig viktig brikke i fremtiden til et fritt Libanon.
