A/HRC/4/6 page 3 Conclusion The human rights challenges facing Liberian society on all fronts - civil, political, economic, social and cultural - are enormous. While the authorities have demonstrated good will to progress on several issues, the slow progress and lack of effective implementation is due to several factors, including lack of capacity, competence and funds. The international community has a duty to assist the national authorities but the Government must lead the way by putting in place concrete and targeted measures. The key recommendations of the independent expert are that: − Judges and prosecutors from outside of Liberia should be engaged to work as mentors. This is a necessary step to address some of the existing deficiencies in the administration of justice; − The Law Faculty at the University of Liberia should be rehabilitated and strengthened and that scholarships should be offered to law graduates to do their postgraduate studies in the United States of America. In particular, positive discrimination should be exercised so that more female students are attracted to the practice of law; − An amendment to the Constitution allowing all international treaties to become part of domestic law should be proposed by the Government; − Discriminatory and offensive legislation such as the “Hinterland Regulations” should be repealed immediately.
