Amnesty: Accra Peace Agreement
Implementations
Amnesty – 2003
A general amnesty was granted to all factions that participated in the civil war prior to the signing of the Comprehensive Peace Accord. However, there was a continued debate over whether Liberia should extend amnesty to those who had committed human rights violations or crimes against humanity during the conflict.

The amnesty issue became more intense when the TRC, in June 2009, recommended suggestions that included the role of the president Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf among other individuals and government officials during civil war. As of 2010, general amnesty is still a contentious issue even regarding the combatants who already received general amnesty in 2003.
