A Milestone for Justice in Africa
The trial of the former president of Chad in a new court sends a message to other strongmen."In 2012, after a new government was elected in Senegal, the International Court of Justice at The Hague ordered Senegal to put Mr. Habré on trial or send him to Belgium. In 2013, Mr. Habré was finally arrested by the police in Senegal, and Senegal and the African Union together created the new Extraordinary African Chambers where Mr. Habré’s case is being heard. Although the trial was suspended the day after it began to allow Mr. Habré’s court-appointed lawyers to prepare his defense, it is to resume in September and expected to last several months."
