What is the future of Liberia’s forests and its effects on regional peace?
The role of Liberia in destabilising the West African sub-region caused the United Nations Security Council to sanction it.
Embargoes on natural resources were introduced, as were travel-bans, arms-sanctions and restrictions on its shipping and aircraft registries.
In early 2003, its President, Charles Taylor, was indicted for War Crimes and Crimes against Humanity in neighbouring Sierra Leone and was forced into exile in August of the same year.
This document records events since the most recent introduction of sanctions in May 2003.
