The U.N.-backed Special Tribunal for Lebanon confirmed Thursday that it has received Lebanon's share of its 2014 budget from the Lebanese government.

“The full sum of € 29,347,003.50, 49% of the Tribunal's budget, was transferred to the Tribunal's bank account this morning,” the STL said in a statement.

"I welcome Lebanon’s contribution and I thank the Lebanese government for fulfilling its international obligation to fund the Tribunal," STL Registrar Daryl Mundis said.

The in-absentia trial of several Hizbullah members accused of involvement in the 2005 assassination of former premier Rafik Hariri had opened in The Hague on January 16, 2014.

To date, 36 witnesses have testified before the tribunal and a total of 461 exhibits were admitted into evidence.
