SOLIDA has been active since 1996 in the struggle against arbitrary detention, enforced disappearance and the impunity of those perpetrating gross human violations.

NOW Lebanon- Daouq: Government will fall if STL funding not approved , November 29, 2011

Information Minister Walid Daouq said on Tuesday that “the government will fall if [Lebanon’s] funding for the Special Tribunal for Lebanon is not approved.”
Daouq also told Voice of Lebanon (93.3) radio station that “the next cabinet session will be certainly held on Wednesday,” adding that “the schedule was sent to the ministers within the legal deadline.”
Prime Minister Najib Mikati has called for the cabinet to meet on November 30 and discuss the issue of Lebanon’s share of funding for the STL investigating the 2005 assassination of former PM Rafik Hariri.
The PM last week hinted that he might resign if his government fails to agree to fund the tribunal.

Lebanon contributes 49 percent of the STL’s annual funding.
