The new Prosecutor of
the Special Tribunal for Lebanon, Norman Farrell, and the new Appeals Chamber
Judge, Daniel Nsereko, have been sworn in Monday afternoon, announced the STL
in a statement.
“It is my devout hope
and expectation that, with both Prosecution and Defense teams in place and the
Chambers now back to full strength, we can together deliver justice in
accordance with the law,” said Judge Sir David Baragwanath, the Tribunal’s
president, in remarks delivered during the swearing in ceremony.
Farrell of Canada will
join the tribunal upon the completion of his mandate as the Deputy Prosecutor
of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia, said the
statement.
He takes over the
position of prosecutor after his predecessor Judge Daniel Bellemare stepped
down from the post due to health reasons.
