A multinational monitoring contingent is the answer,as I've stated a number of times here. You mean like the UNFIL troops on the Lebanese border, who don't notice the Hizbullah rocket launcher set up next to their camps? The ones who taped Hizbullah kidnapping three Israeli soldiers (the kidnappers wore UN uniforms) then denied to Israel that the tape existed? You mean that kind of monitoring? I have explained lots of times why no state is going to willingly accept international monitors to monitor between itself and a terrorist force, even if it isn't Israel, with a long history of being treated unfairly by the UN. States have a chain of command and visible actions. Terrorists don't, and are not only much harder to see but much scarier to the monitors. This results in highly assymetrical monitoring.
