United Nations Observation Group in Lebanon (UNOGIL) was a United Nations mission in Lebanon from June 1958 to December 1958.
The mission was based on UN resolution 128. The resolution was preceded by a violent conflict over a constitutional amendment, in the course of which Syria was accused of intervening in this conflict. The task of the UNOGIL mission was to ensure that no combat material was smuggled across the Lebanese border. The mission ended when the conflict eased.
