Human Rights

Economic sanctions on Liberia include a sanction to prevent weapons trading to individuals, preventing high-profile criminals entering the country, and a freeze on said criminal's assets in Liberia, primarily those of the former leader Charles Taylor. These sanctions are internationally supported, and are mainly a result of Charles Taylor's regime. Liberia hasn't done anything about these sanctions, as they recognize that these are necessary to maintain peace within the country and friendly relations on an international level.

Liberia has overcrowded jails, violence against women and children, and a weak judiciary system. They also have capital punishment in effect.
