As head of the Middle East and North Africa division of the International Center for Transitional Justice in New York, Habib Nassar is well versed in regional human rights issues and international law.
Prior to joining the ICTJ, Nassar was active in several local and international human rights groups. While in Beirut, he did legal training and conducted research for the Lebanese Association for Democratic Elections.
As part of the Committee of the Families of Abducted and Missing Persons in Lebanon, Habib focused on the thousands of people missing since the civil war and the country's challenges in delivering justice to the perpetrators of the disappearances.
In light of the Special Tribunal for Lebanon prosecutor's recent delivering of the indictments in the Rafik Hariri murder case, NOW Lebanon spoke to Nassar about the court’s role in international justice as well as Lebanon's shortcomings in delivering judicial accountability.
