British Ambassador to Lebanon Frances Mary Guy said that the Special Tribunal for Lebanon is a small point in a list of requirements that the Lebanese officials should admit and unveil to the international community.
“There is a list of demands (the Lebanese officials) should admit and unveil, which are bigger than the STL and goes back to the Lebanese civil war era,” Guy told As Safir in an interview that will be published on Tuesday.
Guy expressed relief that no violent reaction happened after the release of the indictment.
“I expected violent clashes on the street,” she noted.
Concerning the consequences that Lebanon might face if its stances opposed the international community, Guy said: “It’s better to think that the new cabinet led by PM Najib Miqati will cooperate with the international community on the STL.”
Tom Fletcher is to replace Guy as British Ambassador to Lebanon next month after the Lebanese government approved his nomination.
