The Special Tribunal for Lebanon condemns the attack against staff

Leidschendam, 27 October 2010: The attack this morning in Beirut against staff members of the Special Tribunal for Lebanon is a deplorable attempt to obstruct justice. Those who carried out this attack must know that violence will not deter the Special Tribunal for Lebanon, a court of law, from fulfilling its mandate.
The President of the Tribunal, Judge Antonio Cassese, the Head of the the Defence Office, Mr. Francois Roux and the Acting Registrar, Mr. Herman Von Hebel condemn violence in the strongest of terms.
The President will report this regrettable incident to the Government of Lebanon and to the UN Secretary-General.
