Liberia’s Taylor appeals war crimes indictment
CNN International – Oct 31, 2003
-backed war crimes court in Sierra Leone Friday that an indictment against Taylor was invalid because he had enjoyed immunity at the time. The court indicted Taylor in June, accusing him of supporting rebels during a savage decade-long conflict in Sierra Leone. Under huge international pressure, Taylor stepped down two months later and now lives in exile in Nigeria…
Lawyer Terrence Terry told the court, which began hearing appeals Friday against some of the indictments it has issued, that as a serving head of state, Taylor enjoyed immunity when the indictment was issued and could not be prosecuted. “As the then-president, Charles Taylor did enjoy immunity and therefore the special court did not have a right to issue an indictment against him at that time,” Terry said. He also said the mandate of the court only applied within Sierra Leone itself and it had no jurisdiction in other states. Prosecution lawyers countered that Taylor was not in a position to challenge the indictment since he was not personally present in court. Sierra Leone’s court was set up to try those responsible for the worst atrocities during the West African country’s civil war, which shocked the world with crimes such as amputation of civilians’ limbs. The conflict was declared over in 2002. To date, 13 people have been indicted for war crimes and crimes against humanity and nine are currently in jail.
