A March 8 coalition delegation visited UN Special Coordinator for Lebanon Michael Williams’ office on Saturday and delivered a memorandum asking UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon to abolish the Special Tribunal for Lebanon (STL), NOW Lebanon’s correspondent reported on Sunday.
However, the correspondent did not say who participated in the delegation.
The memorandum calls for the UN to replace the STL with a joint Arab-Lebanese commission to investigate the 2005 assassination of former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri, he added.
Meanwhile, March 14 General Coordinator Fares Soueid said in an interview published in Kuwaiti newspaper As-Seyassah on Sunday that the March 8 parties also submitted the same memorandum to the Chinese and Russian embassies in Lebanon.
Hezbollah Secretary General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah feels threatened by the tribunal, Soueid added.
Nasrallah called the STL an Israeli project in a July speech.
