Dutch trial seeks ex-Liberia head | ||
2006-04-25 | ||
Mr Taylor faces war crimes charges himself and is in the custody of the Special Court for Sierra Leone. He was barred from buying weapons before his fall in 2003. Judges at the new domestic war crimes chamber at The Hague district court said discussions were under way on whether Charles Taylor would testify. Mr Kouwenhoven's lawyer described him as a key witness. The defendant denies the charges against him and told the Dutch ANP news agency he was the "victim of political posturing".
The Special Court in Sierra Leone has asked the Netherlands to host the trial of Mr Taylor at the International Criminal Court. | ||
