Press Statement |The Coalition for the Establishment of War and Economic Crimes Court in Liberia (CEWAECCL) has alarmed over election and re-election warlords, individuals accused of war and economic crimes in the National Legislature, and further urged the international community to seriously take note. We, the heads of over 30 human rights, Civil Society, religious, and development organizations have observed with grave concern the election and re-election of major warlords and individuals accused of war and economic crimes at the level of the national legislature following the just-ended October 10, 2023, presidential and legislative elections. The Coalition – CEWAECCL, has further expressed disappointment in some Liberian voters over the election of these individuals to public offices. This is a classic example of the continual roadblocks faced by the past legislature which had a propensity to undermine the quest for justice, accountability, and the advocacy for instituting war and economic crimes court in Liberia.

Dempster, Lead Campaigner on behalf of CSO-Coalition for the Establishment of War and Economic Crimes Court in Liberia, notedVisited 76 times, 28 visit(s) today
