Abstract
In 2006, the Special Court for Sierra Leone arrested former Liberian President Charles Taylor for war crimes and crimes against humanity. The trial is currently underway in The Hague, but human rights observers have questioned the relevance of a trial held such a distance from Sierra Leone. This article examines the tensions inherent in communicating justice from within international courts; in particular, how various judicial prohibitions challenge transparency and the public's right to know. Based on empirical evidence gathered by the author while producing video outreach documentaries for the Special Court press office, this article seeks to contribute to research on mechanisms of both justice and communication.
