Liberia: Taylor case a warning to world warlords-prosecutor

Moves to try former Liberian President Charles Taylor for crimes against humanity in a Sierra Leone court are a warning to the world's warlords that they cannot escape justice, the court's chief prosecutor said. Newly-elected Liberian President Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf said on Friday (March 17) she had asked Nigeria, where Taylor lives in exile, to consider handing him to a UN-backed Special Court in Freetown, which has indicted him for his part in Sierra Leone's 1991-2002 civil war.
