KUWAIT CITY, Aug 17: The Admission Panel of the Special Tribunal of Lebanon (STL) in the Netherlands approved the admission of Kuwaiti attorney Labeed Abdal to the list of Defense Counsel’s List Monday.The attorney was speaking to the Arab Times Tuesday following his appointment to the tribunal. Labeed will be the first lawyer from Kuwait and the Gulf region listed in a special tribunal that has an international character “because the STL was established following the request of the Lebanese government to the UN to conduct the trial of the people allegedly involved in the assassination of former premiere Rafiq Al Hariri.“The UN and the Lebanese government negotiated an agreement and formed the STL, which came into force on May 2007.”
