From the United Nations Development Programme page About Lebanon:

The Lebanese Republic is a small, mostly mountainous country in the Western Asia, on the eastern shore of the Mediterranean Sea. It is bordered by Syria to the north and east, and Palestine to the south. Due to its sectarian diversity, Lebanon follows a special political system, known as confessionalism, to distribute power as evenly as possible among different sects...

Don't worry, though. The UNDP recognizes Israel when it has something to blame it for:

...Moreover, the war by Israel against Lebanon in July 2006 was devastating to the economy. A very promising tourist season and strongly resurgent economic activity were interrupted, employment opportunities reduced and unemployment increased...

Here I thought it was a war between Israel and Hizballah, but that would mean actually mentioning Hizballah in the report...which it doesn't.
