Naharnet - STL Hosts 30 Lebanese Lawyers as Part of 3-Day Seminar on Int'l Justice - April 20, 2011

The Special Tribunal for Lebanon has hosted nearly 30 lawyers from Lebanon and provided them with briefings on the work of the court, STL's press office announced Wednesday. 
The legal professionals, who traveled to The Hague for a seminar on the development of international justice, met officials from all the organs of the tribunal. They were given a tour of the courtroom and were able to ask questions about the work of the STL.

"The three-day event explored international justice, especially the challenges and successes that jurists face in this field," the press office said in a statement.

The lawyers also visited the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY) and the International Criminal Court (ICC). They also met representatives from various non-governmental organizations in The Hague, including the Coalition for the International Criminal Court and the International Bar Association.

The event was organized by the Lebanese NGO Justice Without Frontiers in close cooperation with the Outreach and Legacy Section of the STL.
