Compromise on Lebanese border postpones UN verification
The UN verification of Israel’s southern Lebanon withdrawal was delayed in Lebanon over a border line dispute. Lebanon objected to the UN drawn frontier and asked for technical help, then agreed to resume with a UN cartographer the next morning as work continued on the Israeli side. The withdrawal was completed May 24 and the UN aims to deploy along the affirmed border once verification is finished.

Fiji chiefs meet Speight in bid to free hostages
A delegation of western Fiji chiefs met coup leader George Speight in Suva seeking an end to the three week hostage standoff. U S ambassador Siddique condemned Speight as a terrorist and urged trial, though immunity from prosecution is promised by Fiji's military rulers. The chiefs lament Speight's refusal to release the 31 hostages, including the deposed prime minister, after about two hours of talks with no reported progress.
