DOWNLOAD FACT SHEET
This Fact Sheet is dedicated to all those who in diverse ways have contributed
to bringing justice to the victims of the 11-year war in Sierra Leone in the
1990s. The information contained in the Fact Sheet is a highlight of the
achievements and challenges of the Residual Special Court for Sierra Leone
(RSCSL) and its predecessor – the Special Court for Sierra Leone (SCSL).
The Special Court has made historic contributions to international criminal
justice. It was the first tribunal since Nuremberg to successfully bring to
justice a Head of State (at the time of his indictment). Charles Taylor, the
former President of Liberia was tried in The Hague by the Special Court for
Sierra Leone and sentenced to 50 years in prison.
The Special Court was also the first in history to adjudicate on crimes relating
to enlistment, recruitment, conscription or use of child soldiers; attacks on
peacekeepers; forced marriage; sovereign immunity; effect of national amnesties
on the jurisdiction of an international court and procedural relationships with
a Truth and Reconciliation Commission.
PEACE MUSEUM - VIRTUAL TOUR
Take a virtual tour of the Peace Museum. The Peace Museum and Memorial Garden
has been refurbished, redesigned, developed and expanded by the Residual Special
Court, and re-launched in December 2019. It continues to occupy a portion of
the former Special Court site and shares the site with other organizations
including the Residual Special Court, the Law Reform Commission, the Justice
Sector Coordination Office, and the Sierra Leone Law School.
