MYNATION NEWS – Latest update as UN peacekeepers leave Liberia after 14 years, headway in reforming the security forces is being undermined by lack of progress in tackling the country’s traumatic legacy of war crimes, officials say. The effort to protect Liberians after the gruelling conflict will be remembered long after the mission’s exit, said Eugene Farkollie, a civil society leader. ExclusionBut UN officials say more must be done to address the roots of Liberia’s long conflict, and to deal with its lingering effects. To date no one has been prosecuted for war crimes committed during the conflict, and the underlying causes of the conflict remain strongly felt in Liberian society. President George Weah has made no specific commitments to addressing war crimes since his election last year.
