EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR'S GREETING

My fellow Liberians, partners and advocates for the establishment of a Special War and Economic Crimes Court and a Special Anti-Corruption Court for Liberia, greetings.

 

As we collaborate in the pursuit of full closure of our bitter experiences of our more than fourteen years of civil crises and stand-up as a people resolved to implant accountability and transparency in our way of life, please join me in honoring the Sainted memories of all of those whose lives were taken, and in reassuring the several thousands of those who are direct victim of the savagery that characterized those dark days that their sufferings will not be left in the abyss of impunity.  We shall do well to hold hands and walk side-by-side and work in unison to bring our decision to establish these courts to a logical conclusion.

 

On behalf of the OWECC-L and in my own name, recognition is in order for His Excellency President Joseph Nyuma Boakai’s fulfilment of his promise to establish this longed-for war and economic crimes court.  I am grateful for the extra-ordinary blessing to lead the process through His Excellency’s preferment.  I note with particularity the enormity of the task, but most importantly, the solemnity of the process to the existence and peace of our country and generations to come.  This is most precisely an offspring of the sacrifices that our mothers and sisters, our African and other international partners, and people of goodwill made to silence the guns, restore civility and create the sacred opportunity for our nation to hold those bearing the greatest responsibilities for atrocities, abuses and human rights violations during the civil crises to come forth and say why they cannot be held for their actions as war crimes.

 

Our mandate is to lead the establishment of the WECC and SACC for Liberia.  To lead is not to do; it is to manage the process up to finality.  Thus, this process is built on inclusivity and prohibitive of any scintilla of exclusivity.  Every Liberian and other people interested in a peaceful and just society, addressing impunity, and working for transitional justice such that the legacy that results is one that teaches all of us to respect the rule of law, no matter the situation or circumstance.

 

In view of our holistic approach to leading this process, I respectfully appeal to everyone, without any condition, to join and help to move this process to its logical conclusion.  I pledge my all, and assure that with the Special Grace of God, we will over all prevail.
