“Russian ambassador to UN: no suggestions to amend international tribunal”
Al Hayat, an independent Saudi owned newspaper, reported in its January 5 issue about the latest developments in the issue of the international tribunal to prosecute the suspects in the assassination of the ex Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik Al-Hariri. The newspaper wrote: “The head of the Security Council for this month the Russian ambassador to the United Nations Vitali Chorkin dismissed the possibility that the issue of the international tribunal to prosecute the suspects in the assassination of the ex Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik Al-Hariri will be out before the Security Council to issue a new resolution concerning it. Chorkin confirmed to Al Hayat that ‘there are no suggestions for the council to open the issue of the tribunal for Lebanon once again”.”
The newspaper added: “He considered that the tribunal must “play the role that it is supposed to play, i.e. not only to bring about justice but also to lay the foundation for a long term political pacification. Thus it must enjoy wide ranging political support”. He expressed his hope that the “negotiations will continue to arrive at a common ground between the various political factions”.” - Al Hayat, United Kingdom
