This grant demonstrates the U.S. commitment to ensuring that those most responsible for the atrocities committed during the war in Sierra Leone are brought to justice. This grant was expedited due to the financial crisis the Court is currently facing. By all calculations, the Court would have run out of money by early December which could have jeopardized the continuation of the Charles Taylor trial before the Court reached a verdict." ]]> http://www.alliancealert.org/2010/11/23/why-is-the-bankrupt-us-providing-4-5-million-to-fund-sierra-leone-trial-of-charles-taylor/feed/ 0 http://www.alliancealert.org/2010/07/06/sierra-leone-bar-association-discusses-gender-equality/ http://www.alliancealert.org/2010/07/06/sierra-leone-bar-association-discusses-gender-equality/#comments Tue, 06 Jul 2010 21:09:22 +0000 Admin http://www.alliancealert.org/2010/07/06/sierra-leone-bar-association-discusses-gender-equality/ Awoko Newspaper: "The Sierra Leone Bar Association during its Annual Conference over the weekend held at the Wusum Hotel Conference Hall in Makeni, discussed in detail issues bordering around gender equality, human rights and freedom of information as cornerstones to nation building and human development." ]]> http://www.alliancealert.org/2010/07/06/sierra-leone-bar-association-discusses-gender-equality/feed/ 0
