All perpetrators who committed atrocities during the country’s civil war must be held accountable,” Congressman Smith said upon receiving 300,000 signatures from members of the Tom Lantos Human Rights Commission for the full implementation of the Truth and Reconciliation report. Congressman Smith said the 300,000 signatures gathered is a “powerful testimony”, and shows how Liberians are desperate for justice. The Tom Lantos Human Rights Commission (formerly known as the Congressional Human Rights Caucus) is a bipartisan caucus of the United States House of Representatives.
