Justice Minister Shakib Qortbawi said on Saturday that any change in the protocol between Lebanon and the Special Tribunal for Lebanon (STL) is up to the cabinet and not him.
“When the 2012 state budget is addressed, it will be shown whether [the cabinet] will [provide its share of funds to] the tribunal,” he told OTV.
The STL indicted four members of the Iranian-and Syrian-backed Hezbollah in connection to the 2005 assassination of ex-premier Rafik Hariri, but Hezbollah Secretary General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah has ruled out their arrest.
