Freedom has a name: Postponing judgment at The Hague is prolonging injustice, poor precedent for international justice

This ongoing practice of unreasonable delays can no longer be viewed as normal judicial procedure, but as a serious degradation of fundamental principles of justice for a trial within the reasonable deadline. This process that has dragged on for years, with repeated delays, has completely lost credibility and has already become a mechanism that produces continued injustice.

Keeping former KLA leaders for nearly six years in custody conflicts with any standard of international justice and fundamental human rights.

“Liberty has a name” estimates that these developments are seriously damaging citizens' trust in international justice institutions, creating perceptions of a procrastinated, unbalanciated and irresponsible process.

“Freedom has a name” warns that any further delays in this trial process at the Special Court, this institution only turns it further away from the standards of justice, turning it into a dangerous precedent for international justice.
