I have not forgotten -- I just have been running out of time to do my research on the issues that keep popping up. Thanks for your patience -- maybe once I get back home from The Hague I can try to put some more time aside to write something about this. I have got all the research done -- I just need to pull it together and write it up for us. Thanks for the reminder. Best, Tracey Oh Helen — you are so good to remind me and you have been so patient.

Glad you picked it up! It is a good phrase, in any case. Best, Tracey Hi Jose — no, you are absolutely right — I just looked at the wrong screen name when responding. Glad you picked it up!

Silly me. I looked at the wrong screen name when responding - I am sorry. In that case, do you mind if I use the phrase "a disgraceful disgrace" sometime?! I like it.

However how can the same UN and international community put individuals on Travel Bans and Asset Freeze when they have not had an opportunity to have their day in court? Where is justice in this? Do you know that up to now many individuals are still on these ban lists only because they have ongoing ties to Mr Taylor? Is this a crime, and should they be punished in this way without given their day in court? You had promised to do some write up on this issue but have probably forgotten. Could you examine the legalities of this in the context of international justice? Does the UN have the right to abuse the civil and basic human rights of individuals without fair trial? Tracey,
I like your take on the issue of fair trial and the fact that “if there is a case to answer for anyone who is suspected of breaking the law (in this case, international law) then they should have a day in court and have the opportunity to answer the charges against them in the context of a fair trial — and a fair trial includes the ability to put forward their case and bring witnesses in their defense, and the presumption of innocence unless proven guilty.” However how can the same UN and international community put individuals on Travel Bans and Asset Freeze when they have not had an opportunity to have their day in court?

Besides, which law code that says it is ok even though you know they committed the crimes to defend or prosecute them to the teeth? Noko7,

Of course we can question their moral-ethical standards but in this business, things work differently. I can not judge Crane and co for being persecutors one day and defense lawyers the next day. Their only interest is in their clients and to get their job done. Peace, Aki, Peace. Aki,
