2 December 2008
The Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Liberia (TRC) has released for public information and notice a listing of perpetrators and alleged perpetrators the Commission is requesting to appear before it to address themselves to allegations of war crimes and gross human rights violations including violations of international human rights and humanitarian laws during the course of the Liberian crisis from 1979 to 2003.
The publication includes violators and alleged perpetrators who have elected to ignore the TRC process and refused to appear before the Commission in respond to allegations against them respecting the roles they played during the crisis.
The TRC also published a list of "Persons of interest" who to date have not appeared at the Commission but are considered persons who have particular knowledge and information about past events deemed expedient to the inquiry process of the commission because of their roles, positions in government or privy to public policy issues over the period 1979 to 2003.
TRC Chairman, Cllr. Jerome J Verdier, Sr said "... these publications have become necessary as a matter of public notice and citation to these personalities at large because some people have deliberately avoided the Commission by becoming both elusive and evasive, changing their addresses or residence very frequently, authorizing their agents or staff not to receive communications from the TRC and deliberately lying about the service of citations by the Commission".
Cllr. Verdier: "This is yet another attempt of the Commission to ensure that its processes and procedures are fair to such an extent that everyone is given an opportunity to be heard by the Commission and be confronted with the allegations, information and evidence the Commission have gathered about them before the Commission makes any determination on their roles, actions or complicity to war crimes and massive human rights violations that characterized the Liberian conflict..."
The Commission says its latest action is consistent with promoting due process and the last attempt of the Commission to ensure that people needed by the Commission appears voluntarily and avoid confrontation with the laws of Liberia controlling the process. Continuing, the Commission says this action is also consistent with its 2007 Public Bulletin No.7, published early this year, on the use of Warrant and Compulsory Processes in which the Commission declared in counts 1 and 2, that
1. "In consideration of the National Reconciliation objectives of the TRC, and the sound discretionary authority it enjoys the Commission will spare no effort utilizing persuasion and moral suasion, etc to ensure the voluntary compliance or attendance of witnesses to the TRC Process.
2. The TRC will resort to the use of its compulsory process such as subpoenas, warrants or arrest as a matter of last resort when all other efforts shall have failed or where such compulsory process is the best option under the circumstances".
Concluding, the statement stated that the list is by no means exhaustive, and called on all persons to comply with the citation and notice of the Commission to appear, reiterating that the use of the Commission's compulsory subpoena powers remains an open option and that the Commission will not hesitate to prosecute anyone who fails to testify under Section 12.12 of the Penal Laws of Liberia which provides as follows:
"Refusal to testify before or hindering certain official bodies
A person has committed a first degree misdemeanor if without lawful privilege or excuse, in the course of an official proceeding before the legislature, an administrative body of government or any lawfully constituted body of government, he
Refuses, after lawful process, to appear or to produce the material required of him, or be sworn or make equivalent affirmation as a witness, or answer a pertinent question and continues in such refusal after the person presiding thereat directs him to answer and advises him that his continuing refusal may subject him to criminal prosecution; or
Purposely hinders such official proceeding by noise or violent or tumultuous behavior."
List of perpetrators or alleged perpetrators needed by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission to respond to various violations of human rights and international humanitarian law ranging from murder, massacre, and rape to forced Displacement, etc, levied against them by victims of the civil war.
These individuals are required to call at the TRC offices on 9th street between 9:00am and 6:00pm daily from December 1 to December 17, 2008. The TRC can be contacted at these numbers: 06574953 & 06545968.
