description The assassination of foreign leaders is rarely considered by scholars of international affairs. This article examines the assassination of former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik Hariri and the debates around the international tribunal formed to investigate it. It argues that the assassination of Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik Hariri is an instance of how issues of foreign policy intersect with the perennial themes of international organization and law. It pays particular attention to how the international norm against political assassinations remains a contested issue in international politics. Les spécialistes des relations internationales étudient rarement l'assassinat des leaders étrangers. Cet article examine celui de l'ancien Premier ministre libanais Rafik Hariri et les débats autour du tribunal international formé pour juger ses assassins. Il soutient que l'assassinat du Premier ministre libanais Rafik Hariri constitue un cas révélant l'entrecroisement des questions de politique étrangère et des thèmes éternels d'organisation et de loi internationale. Il montre en particulier comment la norme internationale à l'égard des assassinats politiques reste une question contestée en politique internationale. El asesinato de líderes extranjeros es un tema raramente estudiado por investigadores expertos en política internacional. Este artículo examina el asesinato del ex-Primer Ministro libanés Rafik Hariri y analiza los debates sobre el tribunal internacional creado para su investigación. El artículo sostiene que el asesinato del Primer Ministro libanés Rafik Hariri constituye un claro ejemplo de cómo cuestiones de política exterior se cruzan con temas perennes de derecho y organización internacional. El estudio destaca cómo la norma internacional contra el asesinato continúa siendo una cuestión problemática en política internacional.
