Description
The lawyer responsible for setting up Liberia's long-awaited war crimes court says the first trials will take place in the next five years, more than two decades after the brutal civil wars that left around 250,000 people dead. "There are people who are still hurting. The way to to at least reduce the hurt is to ensure that those who are able can face justice. So no, it not late," said Jallah Barbu, who in November was appointed by President Joseph Boakai to manage the establishment of a War and Economic Crimes Court. SOUNDBITES
