War & Economic Crimes Court

Liberia's Truth and Reconciliation Commission completed its work and in its final report, issued several recommendations that included the establishment of a special court for war crimes committed pre and during the civil war.

 

However, despite many promises by Liberia's governments, a court has never materialized. War victims continue to cry out for justice, but their cries have only fallen on deaf ears. 

​

The recent decision by President Joseph Nyuma Boakai to set up the office of the war and economic crimes court is a good step in the direction of ending the culture of impunity in Liberia and bringing justice to survivors.
