The research will focus on the following main topic: How Courts and Tribunals in The Hague, STL included, have used communications as a tool in defining and catering to the audiences they have identified as their target audiences. This means that the research will largely focus on communication in International Tribunals and Courts. For the Special Tribunal for Lebanon, it is very interesting to see in which ways they can improve their communication with their audience. It is after all very important to know whether your audience is satisfied or not and what can be improved. For now, the researchers have started with making a research plan, gathering information and above all, started with reading a lot of literature about Lebanon, the Special Tribunal for Lebanon and communication in International Law and international tribunals and courts.
