AGNES REEVES-TAYLOR is the latest actor to proclaim that she had no role to play in Liberia’s long-running civil war. However, the highest UK Court had a slightly different understanding of the kind of authority / control that is required under that particular UK law. IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE that the crimes that Agnes Taylor allegedly committed could qualify as war crimes and crimes against humanity. Unfortunately, they could not be charged as such under UK law. In fact, the case never went to trial, no witnesses or victims ever got to testify against Agnes Taylor.
