Abstract

Ovaj završni rad analizira transformaciju Charlesa Taylora od brutalnog gospodara rata i osobe koja je imala veliku ulogu u građanskim ratovima na području Liberije do demokratski izabranog predsjednika koji je odnio pobjedu na izborima 1997. godine. Njegov je dolazak na vlast obilježen korupcijom, nasiljem i političkom manipulacijom. Stoga ovaj rad istražuje način na koji je Charles Taylor došao na vlast, njegove političke odluke i njegov utjecaj na stanje u Liberiji i području Zapadne Afrike tijekom i nakon njegove vladavine. Nadalje, rad se bavi sudskim postupkom koji je proveden protiv Charlesa Taylora te analizira optužbe donesene protiv njega i postupke njegove obrane.
