Charles Taylor,the former president of Liberia has been sentenced to 50 years in prison for war crimes commited in Sierra Lione during the Civil war in the '90s.
" Former Liberian president Charles Taylor is the first former head of state to be convicted by an international tribunal since the Nuremberg trials at the end of World War II. He was sentenced by the international criminal court at the Hague. " (http://bostonglobe.com/news/world/2012/05/30/charles-taylor-sentenced-years/YGcCFguXhULDTxeTWJkpXN/story.html
I have never seen anyone other than the black leaders being convicted and sentenced in this court,which makes me wonder about the type of precautions and protocols that are followed to charge Leaders of such crimes....
