Naharnet - Head of STL Outreach Office: All Attempts at Politically Pressuring International Tribunals have Failed - October 5, 2010

Olga Kavran, Head of the Outreach Office for the Special Tribunal for Lebanon, noted on Tuesday that political pressure is exerted on international tribunals in third world countries, but they have all failed to reach their objective.
She stressed in an interview in L'Orient le Jour newspaper the importance of Lebanon's cooperation with the Special Tribunal for Lebanon as "this cooperation is vital for its functioning."

There is a difference between pressuring a court to alter the course of justice and between pressuring a government over cooperating with the tribunal, Kavran added.
