Monrovia — The former President of the Liberia National Bar Association and standard bearer of the Liberian People's Party , Cllr. Tiawan Gongloe, has admonished members of the Liberian National Bar Association to muster the courage to play a leading role in advocating for the establishment of the war and economic crimes court for Liberia.
The LNBA former president hailed the decision of the assembly to join other civil society organizations in supporting the court. The human rights lawyer commended Cllr. Fonati Koffa, Speaker of the House of Representatives, for his leadership demonstrated by passing a resolution for the establishment of the war and economic crimes court. It's based on his hard work that the House passed a resolution.
Gongloe told the bar that they should be proactive in advocating for the establishment of the war and economic crimes court in support of the LNBA's 2019 resolution. "It is worth noting that Law is an integral part of human existence and has no doubt played a very pivotal role both as an instrument and as a source of innovation in the geo-political and socio-economic development of many nations," he averred.
Chief Justice Yuoh said that even where allegations of the commission of an offense are brought up, due process must at all times be accorded to the accused."This right to due process is sacredly embedded in the Constitution," she emphasized.
