"Charles Taylor has been indicted on 17 counts of war crimes and crimes against humanity by the Special Court for the role he played during Sierra Leone's brutal war. This hybrid Court, which has been supported by this body, has been given jurisdiction over 'those who bear the greatest responsibility' for the atrocities and human rights violations in this now past war. Charles Taylor is at the top of this list.
