MONROVIA, LIBERIA-The Government of Liberia is holding talks with ECOWAS, seeking technical and logistical support for the establishment of a War and Economic Crimes Court, as well as a National Anti-Corruption Court in Liberia.
The disclosure was made by Deputy Foreign Affairs Minister for International Cooperation, Dr. Ibrahim Nyei, at the office of the War and Economic Crimes Court in Monrovia.
Disclosing over the weekend, Dr. Nyei said:” Ensuring justice for the nation is a must-do responsibility, and as such, the government must seek international support for the establishment of the courts.”
