Members of a Mongolian Formed Police Unit (FPU) providing security at the Special Court for Sierra Leone demonstrate their martial skills. The Court will try those who bear the greatest responsibility for violations of international humanitarian law committed during the country’s brutal conflict. The war was well known for its barbarity, including mutilation of civilians, particularly women, and the forced recruitment of child soldiers.
