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 are 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 by zoom with Reed Brody, a leading international human rights lawyer who represented victims in the landmark trial and conviction of Chadian dictator Hissen Habre.
Brody has played a key role in the quest by Gambians for a court to try perpetrators of the Jammeh regime and led United Nations teams to investigate massacres in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
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.)
