Abstract

Among the various ad hoc international criminal tribunals that have been established since the end
of the twentieth century, the Special Tribunal for Lebanon stands out for its particularity, both at the
jurisdictional level and for its contribution to the treatment of victims. The work of the Special
Tribunal for Lebanon began in 2009, delivering its first instance judgment on 18 August 2020. It is
soon to be able to delimit its effectiveness as a Chapter VII measure in Lebanon itself, but it is worth
noting the effort of the Security Council not to abandon the path begun in 1993 with the creation of
the courts in Yugoslavia and Rwanda. This paper seeks to analyze the peculiarities of the Tribunal
and its impact on general international criminal law by analyzing the 2020 judgment using the
classic method of legal science. It is divided into four parts devoted to the tribunal in general, the
August 18 judgment, and the conclusions regarding its applicability to general international criminal
law.
