Sarah Copland's son Isaac was the explosion's youngest victim. Ms Copland is joining a lawsuit she hopes will shed light on what led to Isaac's death.
The case was filed on July 11 on behalf of nine American victims of the blast, and is being backed by Accountability Now, a Swiss foundation that aims to support Lebanese civil society.
TGS ASA says it denies each and every allegation raised in the lawsuit and intends to defend the matter in court. She also says any damages that might result from the case will be shared amongst all the victims of the blast, not just the US parties to the case."No dollar amount can ever fix things or bring people back or make things better, but it could provide some relief so they can focus on their grief instead of just their survival."
"There's a dedicated group of people who are regularly protesting and helping people find justice. They take Isaac's picture to protests ... they always try to include Isaac, which is amazing," Ms Copland says."I was at the International Criminal Court for six months, and I've been at the UN now for seven years, so I'd experienced it from that side of things. But when you experience it from the victims' side, it's a whole different ball game.
