...professor at the Kennedy School of Government became the first to win a newly established prize from the Social Science Research Council, an international academic organization, for his interdisciplinary work in global economic development. From a pool of 31 nominees, Hariri Professor of International Political Economy Dani Rodrik ’79 was chosen by a selection committee of current and former council board members to receive the first Albert O.

The international tribunal [to investigate the assassination] is one of the basic objectives of this government. Why? Because following the assassination of Hariri, there have been other assassinations. This follows assassinations during the past 30 years, leaders of thought, editors, politicians, clergymen, the grand mufti, the Druze mufti. That's why one should insist on the international tribunal. Not only to get to know who committed these crimes, but as well to protect democracy...
