Refl: Charles Taylor ini, kalau konco dengan jenderal-jenderal TNI dan 
bermukin di NKRI mungkin bisa selamat bebas dari jerat hukum.

A UN war crimes judge has ruled that Liberia's former president Charles 
Taylor is criminally responsible for arming Sierra Leone's rebels in 
return for blood diamonds.

Presiding judge Richard Lussick announced the verdict at the Special Court 
for Sierra Leone at The Hague.

He said the chamber found beyond reasonable doubt that Taylor was 
criminally responsible for aiding and abetting the commission of the 
crimes. Taylor was convicted of war crimes for arming Sierra Leone's 
rebels in return for diamonds, the first verdict against a modern former 
head of state by a global court.

Judge Lussick said Taylor would be sentenced on May 30.

Taylor, 64, was convicted of helping Sierra Leone's rebel forces wage a 
terror campaign against the west African country's people during a 
decade-long civil war in which 120,000 people died.

Taylor was paid in illegally mined so-called blood diamonds stuffed in 
mayonnaise jars by Sierra Leone's Revolutionary United Front rebels, who 
murdered, raped and maimed, notably by chopping off limbs with machetes.

Taylor was transferred from Freetown to the special court in the suburbs 
of The Hague in mid-2006 for a high profile-trial that included testimony 
by the British model Naomi Campbell and actress Mia Farrow.

His sentence - to be served in a British prison - will be determined by 
the ''severity of his crimes'', the court said earlier.

He is the first former head of state to be tried in an international court 
since Admiral Karl Doenitz, briefly Nazi leader and Adolf Hitler's 
appointed successor at the end of World War II, who was convicted by the 
Nuremberg tribunal.
