Special Court for Sierra Leone Appeals for Funding

June 11th, 2007 at 08:02am

Officials from the Special Court for Sierra Leone have asked for an additional $60 million so that they may complete their mandate to try “those who bear greatest responsibility” for war crimes in the country.  Current funds are expected to be exhausted in November of this year.  Four trials are currently before the Court, including that of Charles Taylor.
