Under operative paragraph 1 of the resolution, the Council "decides, acting under Chapter VII of the Charter," that the Agreement between the United Nations and the Lebanese Republic on the Establishment of a Special Tribunal for Lebanon "shall enter into force on 10 June 2007" unless the Government of Lebanon notifies the United Nations that the Agreement has been approved prior to that date.
