Monrovia - The United Nations Mission in Liberia (UNMIL) through the office of its Deputy Secretary General for the Rule of Law, Waldemar Wray, has provided textbooks, furniture and equipment aimed at setting up a human rights library at the Ashmun Street Headquarter of the Liberia National Bar Association (LNBA). Wray added that it is universally accepted that human rights play a pivotal role in the goverance of every modern society. “As key players in the protection of the rights of people, lawyers, judges and other justice and security sector actors must update their knowledge of human rights norms and standards that are applicable to the administration of justice. UNHCR will commence operations in Liberia on April 1, 2018 and will continue to support national institutions like the Independent National Commission on Human Rights to enhance human rights protection mechanism for Liberia, he said. “There is no doubt that these reforms seek to entrench a human rights culture in Liberia and uphold the rights of all Liberians,” he said.
