P007395001: February 2019 – From new violence in peaceful areas of the country, such as the Ituri province, to multiple Ebola outbreaks, and the forced return of hundreds of thousands of Congolese refugees and internally displaced persons (IDPs), 2018 has pushed the limits of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC)'s humanitarian assistance. These challenges, coupled with cyclical violence and a lack of basic services, has exacerbated life-saving needs across the east and centre of the country. Millions of Congolese bear the brunt of this context, which is characterized by worsening inter-ethnic tensions and conflict, and where widespread human rights abuses and sexual violence are prevalent. In 2018, 1.26 million Congolese were newly displaced, and it is expected that 2019 will bring an additional 2.9 million returnees back to their areas of origin, creating significant needs in protection, livelihoods and food security. Approximately 12.8 million people are food insecure and 4.28 million children are suffering from malnutrition.

This project aims to improve the effectiveness of defence counsels appearing before international courts and tribunals, as well as in proceedings in Lebanon and the wider Arabic-speaking region. This project supports efforts by the Special Tribunal for Lebanon (STL) to publish a handbook on international criminal trials for legal practitioners, law students, and the public. The STL, established by the United Nations in 2009, is the first international criminal tribunal to adjudicate cases involving terrorism as a criminal offence in the Middle East. To preserve lessons learned, the handbook aims to capture the challenges encountered and solutions found over the course of its operations and those of other international courts and tribunals.
