The adoption of Resolution 1664 marked the Council's commitment to establish the first tribunal try a crime labelled as "terrorism" by the United Nations.[2]

Resolution

Observations

In the preamble of the resolution, the Council was aware of the demands of the Lebanese people that those responsible for the killing be brought to justice, and the Lebanese government had requested the establishment of an international tribunal to try those responsible.[3] The Security Council expressed its willingness to continue to assist Lebanon in the search for those responsible for the attack.

Acts

Requesting the Secretary-General and Lebanese government to consult regarding an international tribunal, Council members recognised that adopting a legal framework for the tribunal would not prejudice the phasing-in of its components nor predetermine the timing of the start of its operations. The Secretary-General was required to report on the progress of the negotiations, including options for funding.

gollark: * specify, not design
gollark: ```rust let with_db = warp::any().map(move || pool.clone()); let static_files = warp::path("assets").and(warp::fs::dir("assets")); let view_page = warp::path!(String).and(warp::get()).and(with_db.clone()) // repeating the next bit for every route is kind of bad, see if it can be changed somehow .and_then(|title, db| async { error_to_http_response(view_page(db, title).await) }); let editor_page = warp::path!(String / "edit").and(warp::get()).and(with_db.clone()) .and_then(|title, db| async { error_to_http_response(editor_page(db, title).await) }); let save_edit = warp::path!(String / "edit").and(warp::post()).and(warp::body::form()).and(with_db) .and_then(|title, form, db| async { error_to_http_response(save_edit(db, title, form).await) }); let not_found = warp::any().map(|| warp::reply::with_status("404 Not Found", http::StatusCode::NOT_FOUND)); let main = editor_page.or(save_edit).or(view_page); let app = static_files.or(main).or(not_found);```See, this is how you SHOULD design routes: incomprehensibly.
gollark: no!
gollark: Your *routes* shouldn't be config. They're code. They're part of the application.
gollark: What? Why is that a config file?! You should be defining routes in your code.
