Deal between INTERPOL and Hariri Tribunal Goes into Effect
The International Criminal Police Organization approved a deal cut between INTERPOL and the Special Tribunal for Lebanon during a meeting of the INTERPOL general assembly in Singapore.
INTERPOL and the STL concluded last month an interim agreement on INTERPOL”s assistance to the international tribunal with regard to its investigations and other proceedings that pertain to the crimes that fall under its jurisdiction.
The approval came during a session that was attended by Lebanese police chief Gen. Ashraf Rifi.
"It is time to hold dangerous criminals accountable so that the innocent can enjoy a peaceful life," Rifi said.
