The Sierra Leone Peace Museum

The Peace Museum, located at the site of the Special Court on Jomo Kenyatta Road, is a legacy project of the Special Court. The Museum houses the electronic archives of the Special Court, the Truth and Reconciliation Commission and other institutions, as well as artefacts and narratives of Sierra Leone’s civil conflict. The site also contains a Peace Bridge and a memorial, designed by local Sierra Leonean artists.

SierraLii

The Sierra Leone Legal Information Institute, or SierraLii, was initially founded as a legacy project of the Special Court’s Office of the Prosecutor. It brings together the Sierra Leone judiciary, Parliament, and the Special Court to post the country’s jurisprudence online.

Those researching the Special Court may also be interested in viewing the websites of other international tribunals, such as the ICTR, the ICTY, the ICC, the EEEC, and the STL.
