The lead legal representative and the two co-legal representatives
designated by the Registrar of the Special Tribunal for Lebanon to represent
the victims of the February 14, 2005 attack have been sworn in, the STL
announced in a statement issued on Tuesday.
The three legal representatives will represent the 58 people who
were granted the right to participate as victims in the proceedings by the
Pre-Trial judge.
The victims' legal representatives signed a declaration that they
will exercise their duties "with integrity and diligence, honorably,
freely, expeditiously and conscientiously".
They also committed to "scrupulously respect professional
confidentiality and the other duties imposed by the Code of Professional
Conduct for Counsel Appearing Before the Tribunal".
"This designation underlines a milestone in victim
participation in the STL proceedings," said Alain Grellet, the Chief of
the Victims' Participation Unit of the Registry of the STL.
