I have always held that we lost an important opportunity to hold accountable those responsible for the mayhem of the Liberian civil war. It had all the goodwill and the largest UN Peacekeeping operations in the world stationed to safeguard the process of a war crimes tribunal. Unfortunately, the Sirleaf Administration took a hostile position towards the findings and implementation of the TRC recommendations. Those who supported the Sirleaf Administration even when it outrightly rejected the push for a war crimes tribunal, are now advocating for a war crimes tribunal. Make no mistake, I grew during the civil war and like most Liberians kids felt the worst of the conflict.
