The Office for the Establishment of War and Economic Crimes Court for Liberia (OWECC-L) has signed its fifth Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), this time with the National Muslim Council of Liberia (NMCL), reinforcing efforts to establish justice institutions aimed at addressing Liberia’s history of war and corruption.
The MOU, signed by OWECC-L Executive Director Dr. Cllr. Jallah A. Barbu and NMCL Executive Chairman Alhaji Abraham Fumbah Sherif outlines commitments to promote human rights, justice, and civic engagement through public education, advocacy, and outreach.
Both parties have agreed to form a joint coordination team and develop a strategic framework to guide their collaborative efforts. The partnership seeks to strengthen public support for the creation of the War and Economic Crimes Court (WECC) and the National Anti-Corruption Court (NACC), institutions central to Liberia’s transitional justice process.
OWECC-L, mandated by the Liberian government, continues to engage civil society and religious institutions to ensure the justice process reflects the aspirations of the Liberian people.
