Proceeding contribution from Geoffrey Clifton-Brown (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 13 June 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee of the Whole House (HC) on International Tribunals (Sierra Leone) Bill [Lords].


International Tribunals (Sierra Leone) Bill [Lords]

Because of the hon. Lady’s legal experience, the information she is providing is extremely useful. However, what if Judge Antonio Cassese is correct that the indictment and all the evidence have already been gathered in the Charles Taylor case? The trial started on 4 June this year. If the judge is correct that the actual trial will take more than two years, does the hon. Lady not think that that is too long?
