MONROVIA, LIBERIA-The United States Office of Global Justice has congratulated President Joseph Boakai for the establishment of an office of a War and Economic Crimes Court in Liberia.

Madam Schaack also recognized the efforts of civil society actors, the Bar Association, victims and survivors, as well as members of the National Legislature, for keeping the dream of justice alive.
