day visit to Liberia, Arbour joined the growing chorus of calls to put the former warlord on trial. "It was imperative for the peace process that he left the country. That's an old story now. Personally I think that one cannot always subordinate justice to peace -- that is a serious mistake," Arbour told Radio France Internationale, which broadcast her comments on Thursday, translated into French. "You cannot have lasting peace without justice," she said. Liberia is led by a transitional government ahead of presidential and parliamentary elections in October. "It would not be right to make the new government ... decide whether Charles Taylor should go before the Sierra Leone court. He has been charged -- let him go to Freetown where he can face the accusations against him. If he's an honourable man he should go and defend himself," Arbour said.
