Nawaf Salam, president of the International Court of Justice (ICJ), was named Lebanon’s new Prime Minister with 84 out of Parliament’s 128 lawmakers backing him during binding parliamentary consultations held on Jan. 13, 2025 by newly elected President Joseph Aoun.

After two-year void and 12 attempts that failed to break the stalemate, on Jan. 9, 2025, the Lebanese Parliament elected a new president with Joseph Aoun, Lebanese Army commander-in-chief since 2017, winning 99 votes in the 128-seat chamber in the second round of voting.

Perched on a hilltop 30km north of Damascus, Sednaya prison - a place everyone called the “human slaughterhouse” - was the site of systemic torture, violence and killing.

On December 8, after decades of brutal rule, Bashar al-Assad’s regime was overthrown by Syrian rebels.

What a privilege to witness a historical moment.
