Netherlands receives request to host Taylor war crimes trial
 The Special Court for Sierra Leone has formally asked the Netherlands to host the war crimes trial of former Liberian leader Charles Taylor, the ministry of foreign affairs said here Thursday. "Wednesday the Sierra Leone special court asked the Dutch government to agree to allow the physical judicial process to take place in the Netherlands but it would remain the Sierra Leone tribunal," foreign ministry spokesman Dirk-Jan Vermeij said. The UN-backed court in Freetown told the Dutch authorities that Taylor's "physical presence there could endanger the stability of the region". Posted by: Fred 2006-03-31 |
