Registrar of the Special Tribunal for Lebanon, Daryl Mundis, concluded on Friday his official visit to Lebanon, announced the STL press office in a statement.

"I expressed my appreciation to the Lebanese officials I met with for their ongoing cooperation particularly through this challenging time. I also reminded them of their outstanding financial responsibilities to the Tribunal," said Mundis.

During his mission in Beirut, the registrar met with caretaker Prime Minister Najib Miqati and Prime Minister-designate Tammam Salam and other government officials, as well as with various representatives of the diplomatic community in Lebanon. The Registrar also met with STL staff in Beirut.

This is Mundis's first visit in his capacity as registrar of the STL, a post to which he was appointed in July this year.

This mission was part of a routine and periodic trip required by the registrar in fulfilling his responsibilities.

The registrar is responsible for all aspects of the Tribunal's administration including court management, relations with states, budget and fundraising.

His responsibilities also include oversight of victims' participation, witness protection and detention facilities.
