Crane. 264 1 $a Durham, North Carolina : $b Carolina Academic Press, LLC $c [2020] 300 $a xi, 366 pages ; $c 26 cm 520 $a "Set in the steaming jungles of the ravaged West African country Sierra Leone, this book shows how multiple countries were devastated by an international criminal enterprise led by Presidents Muammar Gadhafi of Libya, Charles Taylor of Liberia, and Blase Compare of Burkina Faso, with an assist from a vast network of terrorists, including Al Qaeda, vying for the control of diamonds. Following the creation of Special Court for Sierra Leone in 2004, a small band of lawyers, investigators, and paralegals changed the face of international criminal law with their innovative plan to effectively and efficiently deliver justice for the tens of thousands of victims, most of them women and children, in the process bringing down warlord-turned-president Charles Taylor of Liberia, the most wanted man in the world. Drawn from the author's personal journals, this book is the first ever detailed account written by a chief prosecutor of an international war crimes tribunal. This book is the first such work to show how the rule of law is more powerful than the rule of the gun-and provides the playbook for accounting for similar horrors elsewhere"-- $c Provided by publisher. 500 $a Includes index. 505 0 $a Preface -- Introduction : "Seek Justice" -- "Believe the Unbelievable" -- An Overview -- The Phone Call -- No One Prepared Me for This -- You Are Not Going to Be the Prosecutor -- The Plan -- Farewell -- London and The Hague -- Touch Down in Hell -- Setting Up -- Fully Operational -- The Indictments -- Operation Justice -- The Initial Arraignments -- "The Maskita" -- The Unforgettable Summer of 2003 ; the Downfall of President Charles Taylor -- The Legal Challenges : New Law Is Made -- A New Courthouse! -- Getting Ready for Trial -- Drafting the Opening Statements -- Prosecuting the Leadership of the Civil Defense Force and the Revolutionary United Front -- The Case Against the Armed Forces Revolutionary Council -- Getting Charles Taylor -- Paramount Chief -- Epilogue : "We Have Him" -- Appendix : The Closing Statements 600 10 $a Crane, David M. 610 20 $a Special Court for Sierra Leone $x Officials and employees $v Biography. 610 27 $a Special Court for Sierra Leone. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01733185 650 0 $a Special prosecutors $z Sierra Leone $v Biography. 650 0 $a War crime trials $z Sierra Leone. 651 0 $a Sierra Leone $x Atrocities. $y Civil War, 1991-2002 $x Atrocities. 650 7 $a Atrocities. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00820727 650 7 $a Employees. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00909111 650 7 $a Special prosecutors. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01128978 650 7 $a War crime trials. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01170459 651 7 $a Sierra Leone. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01210248 648 7 $a 1991-2002 $2 fast 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919896 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20210721014956.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=EEC58FE2C7F211EAB1F2873797128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
