Dr. Beth Van Schaack, U.S. Ambassador-at-Large for Global Criminal Justice , has emphasized the importance of focusing on Liberia's future through the establishment of the War and Economic Crimes Court .
Schaack, in her video message on Tuesday, May 7, said impunity has long existed in Liberia, and she is glad that the establishment of the court is gradually coming to fruition as it will not only prosecute but give relief to victims and survivors of the 14-year civil war. Schaack commended President Joseph Boakai for signing the Executive Order to establish the WECC, acknowledging the long-standing impunity in Liberia and the need for accountability for the war's victims.
