Liberia: Recommendations to the International Reconstruction Conference, New York, 5 and 6 February 2004

More than 14 years of almost continuous conflict have not only resulted in destruction of the social and economic fabric of Liberia, but have also eroded the most fundamental human rights. The International Reconstruction Conference on Liberia taking place in New York on 5 and 6 February 2004 offers a unique opportunity to ensure that, following the Comprehensive Peace Agreement of 18 August 2003, post-conflict reconstruction in Liberia is based on good governance, the rule of law and respect for human rights.
