On the 5th February 2014 I chaired an interesting discussion with Iain Morley QC on the Special Tribunal for the Lebanon. Iain was a former prosecutor at the STL responsible for drafting the Indictment in the prosecution of Ayaash and Others. Iain had some surprisingly critical and very controversial views on the decision to proceed with trials in absentia of a number of co-accused alleged to have been responsible for the murder of the Lebanese President Rafik Hariri in Lebanon in 2005.
