BRIEF: SLCMP Addresses New Government in Sierra Leone

Comment on this post

FREETOWN, Sierra Leone - The Sierra Leone Court Monitoring Programme (SLCMP) issued a press release on Monday congratulating President Ernest Bai Koroma and the APC party in their recent election win following a fair and free election. The SLCMP also reiterated the core recommendations of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) issued in 2005 and urged the new government to see those recommendations as a "blueprint for change in Sierra Leone."  Sierra Leone's TRC is unique in that it creates an obligation on the government to follow its recommendations and the new President could send a strong signal that he is committed to following that law and to ensuring that the recommendations are implemented.  The topics addressed include: protection of human rights, establishment of the rule of law, security services, promoting good governance, youth, women, children, national reconciliation, and the reparation programme.
