With struggles of settling down and maintaining peace following 15 years of atrocities, this book dives into the failures of Liberia to break the culture of impunity. It highlights the trial of former Liberian President Charles Ghankay Taylor as a key example by neighboring Sierra Leone to hold accountable leaders who planned and orchestrated unimaginable violence against their own people, as the way to set the stage for lasting peace.
Inadequate Justice assesses the standards of international justice through the views of ordinary people, leaders, testimonies of witnesses and legal arguments. With direct quotations from Taylor's testimony, the book points to a missed opportunity to avert Liberia's 15-year civil war that eventually spread to Sierra Leone, Cote d'Ivoire and Guinea.
