Liberia has ignored pressure to prosecute crimes from its back-to-back wars between 1989-2003, in which thousands of child soldiers became bound up in the savagery.

 

Charles Taylor was sentenced for war crimes in 2012, but only for acts in neighbouring Sierra Leone. His son, Chuckie, was sentenced for torture in Liberia by a U.S. court in 2009.

House Democrats voted down a Motion to Recommit (MTR) by Kentucky Republican Rep. Andy Barr Wednesday that would have required businesses to report to the Treasury Department if they discover a supplier or other business partner is using Chinese forced labor.

 

The final vote came with 207 Republicans in favor of the measure and 217 Democrats opposed.

 

Under Barrโ€™s proposal, foreign entities would be subject to sanctions if they were found to take advantage of forced labor or assist in the construction of detention camps in the Uyghur Autonomous Region of China, located in the Xinjiang province of northwest China. Groups that helped undermine democracy in Hong Kong would also be penalized under U.S. sanctions.
