Kofi Annan praises Syria
Syria "has had a good record" in implementing UN Security Council Resolutions, Annan said.
He was responding to claims of Syria's non co-operation with Mehlis.
Annan praised Syria's full compliance with UN Security Council Resolution 1559, which called for the full withdrawal of Syrian troops and intelligence apparatus from Lebanon.
Syria has also fully complied with previous UN Resolutions on Lebanon during and after the Civil War, and on the Golan ceasefire.
