Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has extended the mandate of the international tribunal that investigated the 2005 assassination of Lebanon's former PM Rafik Hariri until the end of the year to complete non-judicial functions so it can cease operation. UN spokesman Stephane Dujarric said that a completion plan, developed and agreed upon by the UN and the government of Lebanon, will guide the Special Tribunal for Lebanon to ensure the completion of its work by Dec 31.
