NOW Lebanon - STL President answers frequently asked questions on video, March 1, 2012


The Special Tribunal for Lebanon’s website read on Thursday that STL President Judge Sir David Baragwanath clarified a number of key issues including the so-called "false witnesses" and connected cases.
“The videos are available on the STL's website as well as the STL YouTube channel and high-resolution versions are being distributed to broadcast media,” the statement said.
“In the videos, the STL president addresses the issues of the so-called "false witnesses", how the tribunal determines connected cases, whether the STL can try political assassinations that occurred in Lebanon after 2005 or the deaths of Lebanese civilians in the 2006 war, and how the STL contributes to the rule of law in Lebanon,” the statement added.
Four members of Hezbollah have been indicted by the UN-backed court. However, the Shia group strongly denied the charges and refuses to cooperate with the tribunal.
