New STL Prosecutor, Appeals Chamber Judge Sworn in
The new Prosecutor of the Special Tribunal for Lebanon, Norman Farrell, and the new Appeals Chamber Judge, Daniel Nsereko, have been sworn in Monday afternoon, announced the STL in a statement.
“It is my devout hope and expectation that, with both Prosecution and Defense teams in place and the Chambers now back to full strength, we can together deliver justice in accordance with the law,” said Judge Sir David Baragwanath, the Tribunal’s president, in remarks delivered during the swearing in ceremony.
Farrell of Canada will join the tribunal upon the completion of his mandate as the Deputy Prosecutor of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia, said the statement.
He takes over the position of prosecutor after his predecessor Judge Daniel Bellemare stepped down from the post due to health reasons.
