“no precedents in international justice where a court has been stopped or suspended”

Naharnet reports from the Hague where the International Media Forum for the STL is taking place:

It seemed that those in charge of the Special Tribunal for Lebanon wanted through the first episode of the first day under the title: “The evolution of International Justice,” to send a message to the Lebanese via the vice president of the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia that there has been no precedents in international justice where a court has been stopped or suspended.

Just about everyone in Lebanon and abroad keeps saying that the tribunal cannot be stopped. In fact, they’re saying it so often it’s starting to sound more like insecurity than assurance.
