    That surrender of accused persons to an international tribunal becomes necessary when the local judiciary is or is seen to be subservient to the executive or plays to tribal and other factional loyalties. Unfortunately for Africa, that seems to be the case in most cases involving "big" people. Kalekeni Kaphale, malawi

    The fairness of Taylor’s trial is rooted in his failure to bring to justice people who broke the laws of Liberia, including his son who is now serving jail sentenced in the USA while he was president. E. Julu Swen, Monrovia, Liberia

    Finally, someone with stature has the gumption to declare what normal people already know: various western leaders of the past decade are war criminals. It’s about time! Try them, and if they’re innocent, they’ll go free. Banks, amsterdam
