“In order to contribute to the efforts by Sierra Leone and the international community to end impunity, promote justice for victims, and strengthen the rule of law in the aftermath of the terrible war, Austria has been supporting both the Special Court for Sierra Leone and the Residual Court for Sierra Leone,” a recent press release from the European Mission in Sierra Leone has stated.
The release furthers: “We are pleased to announce that Austria, a proud member of the European Union, will again make a voluntary contribution to the Residual Court for Sierra Leone in 2024, in the amount of 45,000 Euros.”
This continued support underscores Austria’s dedication to ending impunity, promoting justice for victims, and strengthening the rule of law in Sierra Leone and the wider international community.
