Annotated Leading Cases of International Criminal Tribunals. Vol. 45: The Special Court for Sierra Leone (26 May 2006 - 31 December 2007)

This is the forty-fifth volume in the series 'Annotated Leading Cases of International Criminal Tribunals' (A LC) and contains the most important decisions of the Special Court for Sierra Leone (SCSL) from 26 May 2006 up to and including 31 December 2007. It is the th1rd volume in the series containing decisions of the SCSL. At the time of writing this preface, the SCSL has finalised all its trials in Freetown, Sierra Leone; the convicted persons were transferred very shortly after their convictions were upheld on appeal. It has also finalised its last trial, the Taylor case, in The Hague and this has been followed up by the establishment of a Residual Special Court. We intend to cover all of these decisions in the near future in subsequent ALC volumes on the SCSL, ALC Volume 46, ALC Volume 47 and ALC Volume 51.
