Abstract

This paper looks at the Shab'a Farms – considered by the U.N. Secretary General as the linchpin excuse in the Hizb' Allah rhetoric justifying the destabilization of the Israel-Lebanon-Syria relationship. It contemplates the possibility of defusing a violent conflict by borrowing the lease – a legal instrument in domestic law of contract and real property and private international law – and turning it into a public international legal device.

Keywords: Conflict resolution, Sha's farm, Territorial conflicts, international leases
