UNSC Rebuffs International Crisis Group For Advocating “Moderation” On STL

December 30, 2010 · Mustapha Hamoui

George Malbrunot cites an anonymous diplomat at the United Nations (My translation. Hover for french original):

When the leaders of the International Crisis Group (ICG) came recently to present their latest report on the Special Tribunal for Lebanon (STL) […] they were subjected to a barrage of fierce criticism by the permanent members of the Security council

It seems the UNSC is very serious about implementing the STL through to the end. What’s not clear from that incident is whether Russia and China (also permanent members of the UNSC) took part in the ICG dressing down.
