| Abstract |
|---|
While the Agreement between the United Nations and Lebanon provides a solid framework for cooperation between the Special Tribunal and Lebanon, Security Council Resolution 1757 (2007) is silent on the duty of third states to assist the Tribunal. As a result, the Special Tribunal will be confronted with a variety of obstacles and problems in obtaining their cooperation, which may seriously hamper its functioning.
