The Lebanese Center for Human Rights (CLDH) is a local non-profit, non-partisan Lebanese human rights organization in Beirut that was established by the Franco-Lebanese Movement SOLIDA (Support for Lebanese Detained Arbitrarily) in 2006. 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 - STL publishes third annual report, March 7, 2012


The Special Tribunal for Lebanon said on Wednesday that the third annual report detailing the activities of the tribunal during the past year was now available on the STL’s website.
“A copy of the report was sent last week to UN Secretary General [Ban Ki-moon] and Lebanese Prime Minister [Najib Mikati],” the STL said.
"Our primary role is to serve the people of Lebanon by independent and impartial investigation and trial, fully protective of the rights of the accused and mindful of the interests of victims, of whatever cases the evidence supports," STL President Judge Sir David Baragwanat said.
"We must strive, as our statute requires, to meet the highest standards of international criminal justice, and thereby contribute to further strengthening the rule of law in Lebanon," he added.
Four Hezbollah members have been indicted by the UN-backed STL in former Premier Rafik Hariri’s murder case. However, the Shia group strongly denied the charges and refused to cooperate with the court.
