EspañolSPECIAL TRIBUNAL FOR LEBANON
The 'Special Tribunal for Lebanon' is an international criminal court that has been established on May 30, 2007.
Proposed and approved by the United Nations and the Director-General of the Ministry of Justice on behalf of the Lebanese Republic.[1] The tribunal would try those suspected of assassinating Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik Hariri, though certain groups such as Human Rights Watch have advocated that the tribunal should have jurisdiction over 14 other attacks perpetrated in Lebanon since October 1, 2004.[2] For reasons of security, administrative efficiency and fairness, the location will be outside Lebanon, most likely in The Hague in The Netherlands.[1]
The tribunal marked the first time that a UN-based international criminal court tries a "terrorist" crime committed against a specific person. [3] According to United Nations Security Council Resolution 1664 (2006), it is to be a "tribunal of an international character based on the highest international standards of
criminal justice."[4] It is likely to be a "hybrid" international court, like the Special Court for Sierra Leone.[5]
