Welcome to this special edition of Democracy in Focus, a collaboration between New Narratives and Front Page Africa. I’m Anthony Stephens.
As plans for Liberia’s war and economic crimes courts get underway, we’re running a series of special interviews with Liberian and international justice experts and stakeholders about how the courts could work.
In this interview, I speak with prominent Liberian human rights advocate, Hassan Bility. The Director of Global Justice and Research Project, Bility’s role in Liberia’s transitional justice process has been immense.
His organization has partnered with Swiss justice activists, Civitas Maxima to investigate and bring evidence to prosecutors in Europe and the US that has been used to prosecute more than a dozen individuals accused of war-related crimes in Liberia.
Support for this podcast came from the UN Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights and the European Union. (Until September 2026, the program was supported by the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency and American Jewish World Service.)
