metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: The article analyzes legal documents of the Special Tribunal for Lebanon, established by a
  United Nations Security Council Resolution in 2007 for investigating the former prime minister
  of Lebanon, Rafiq Hariri, in Beirut in 2005. This article examines the legal status of the Special
  Tribunal, its jurisdiction, and its structure. The Tribunal was established according to an
  agreement between United Nations and the government of the Lebanese Republic, and later
  adopted by the UN Security Council. Jurisdiction of the Tribunal covers territory of all UN
  member-states. Main attention is paid to the first Judgment, delivered by the Trial Chamber
  of the Tribunal in August 2020, according to which three of the accused were acquitted and
  one — Jamal Salem Ayyash — was condemned. The article analyzes evidence used by the Trial
  Chamber, in the first place utilization of data of mobile telephones, as a basis for judgment.
  Jamal Salem Ayyash was convicted on a basis of his identification as a user of a mobile telephone,
  which according to experts was used by a person who took part in the murder of Rafiq
  Hariri. The article also considers the political meaning of the Judgment. The Trial Chamber
  did not find any evidence of the involvement of the Syria government and Hezbollah leadership
  in the murder of Rafiq Hariri. The author points out the reasons that prevent the Tribunal
  from achieving better results. The most important reason is restriction of the jurisdiction of
  the Tribunal to only one crime and not paying attention to other political crimes committed
  in Lebanon in the precedent years.
