This event, hosted by the Special Tribunal for Lebanon (STL) and the Foreign Press Association in the Netherlands (BPV), will provide participants with an "opportunity to explore various aspects of international justice and the challenges facing media reporting on it," STL's press office said in a communiqué.
The three-day program will consist of presentations by leading experts on the procedures of the Special Tribunal for Lebanon and other international courts, visits to International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY) and the International Criminal Court (ICC) and panel discussions with renowned correspondents and their Lebanese counterparts.
The participants will include the President of the Special Tribunal for Lebanon, Judge Antonio Cassese, Registrar of ICTY, John Hocking, director of the SENSE News Agency, Mirko Klarin, and other authorities on international courts and the role of media covering their work.
"This media forum follows a successful event of similar format held on October 20-22, which gathered senior editors of a number of Lebanese media and their international colleagues in The Hague," according to STL's press release.
"The exchange of ideas and experiences that ensued illustrated the need for a continued engagement and cooperation between international courts and media informing their constituents. It is in this spirit that the STL Outreach and Legacy Section and BPV will continue supporting this and other similar initiatives in the future," STL added.
