Naharnet - Special Tribunal for Lebanon Hosts Representatives of Lebanese NGOs - March 17, 2011

More than twenty members of non-governmental organizations from Lebanon have visited the Special Tribunal for Lebanon for briefings on the work of the court. 
The representatives, who traveled to The Hague for a seminar on the development of international justice, met officials from all the organs in the tribunal.

They were also given a tour of the courtroom.

The three-day event explores international justice and the challenges that human rights activists face in this field. 

The participants heard presentations at the Asser Institute in The Hague and visited the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY).

On Friday the group will go to the International Criminal Court (ICC) and will also meet members of NGOs including the Coalition for the International Criminal Court, the International Federation for Human Rights, as well as Parliamentarians for Global Action.

The event was organized by the Lebanese NGO Justice without Frontiers in cooperation with the Outreach office of the STL.
