1. Liberia: Government Human Rights Commissions In Africa - Origin And Mandate Liberians have been subjected to human rights abuses by government police and securityforces as well as violence at the hands of two Liberian rebel incursions http://www.hrw.org/reports/2001/africa/liberia/liberia.html

Overview Summary International Standards: The Paris Principles Important Factors ... Acknowledgements Origin and Mandate Staffing and Appointment Procedures Activities Funding Assessment Origin and Mandate On July 19, 1997, Liberia's seven year war was finally ended through a U.N.-sanctioned election that swept former faction leader Charles Taylor and his party into power with 75 percent of the vote and a corresponding 75 percent majority in the legislature, giving him seventy of the ninety legislative seats. Ultimately, over a dozen peace accords and almost twenty cease-fire agreements were signed during the countless negotiations for peace that led to the elections. Despite the presence of regional peacekeepers from 1990, the ECOWAS Cease-Fire Monitoring Organization (ECOMOG) , joined by a U.N. military observer mission in 1993, fighting resumed numerous times during the war, and the number of factions proliferated over the years. All the factions to different degrees were responsible for terrorizing the local populations in order to look and to discourage support for local factions. The widespread atrocities against civilians included extrajudicial executions, torture, including rape, forced labor, and extortion. The factions consisted predominantly of bands of armed fighters, some as young as ten years of age, with no formal military training. The repeated breakdown of the peace process can be attributed to a number of factions including the internal factionalization of the warring factions along ethnic lines, and their economic and political incentives for continuing the war. The proliferation of these groups was encouraged by the creation and support of anti-Taylor factions by the former government army and ECOMOG.

Overview Summary International Standards: The Paris Principles Important Factors ... Funding Assessment Assessment The case of Liberia shows the utter impotency of a human rights commission which depends entirely upon a government that is not committed to improving human rights. The Human Rights Commission exists in name only. Its leadership is weak, and there is no commitment on the part of the government to empower it with resources or personnel. Since its creation in 1997, the Human Rights Commission has been paralyzed by the Taylor government through its flawed legislation, inadequate funding, and political pressure. Only two of the mandated five members were confirmed a year later in 1998. Three subsequent nominees have yet to be confirmed by the senate. In its short time of existence, the Human Rights Commission has taken little or no action other than to set up its offices. The commission is empowered by its founding statute to do very little, and in practice seems to do even less. For example, while the commission is supposed to prepare reports on the situation of human rights in Liberia to be released internationally, those reports have yet to be seen. In addition to its restrictive mandate and minimal activities, the commission is further hindered by a lack of resources and qualified personnel. The perceived incompetence of the commissioners is yet another factor that adds to the lack of confidence in the commission. The head of the commission has repeatedly complained that he is unable to take any action due to the lack of funding. The commission's chair Justice Hall Badio told Human Rights Watch that he had repeatedly attempted to seek an audience with the president or his aides to beg for funding and had been repeatedly been rebuffed. He said: "If the president winks his eye at you, everyone winks his eye at you. If the president frowns at you, everyone frowns at you. Everyone knows what the president thinks of this commission."
