Creation of War Crimes Court in Liberia

President Joseph Boakai signed an executive order to create a war crimes court in Liberia to bring justice to victims of civil wars. The court aims to prosecute individuals responsible for mass killings, torture, and sexual violence. International donors are called upon to fund the court, with the U.S. expressing interest in supporting it. Various individuals, including former warlords and leaders, are to be tried for war crimes.
