The Government of Lebanon and United Nations agreed to establish a Special Tribunal for Lebanon in 2007, signing the agreement on 23 January 2007 and 6 February 2007 respectively. When the agreement was sent to the Lebanese Parliament for ratification, however, the Speaker refused to convene Parliament to vote on it.[31] Upon request from a majority of members of the Lebanese parliament[32] and the Prime Minister,[33] the United Nations Security Council adopted Resolution 1757, implementing the agreement.[34]
