 Ali Kuzai has been found guilty of war crimes in the Swedish court, becoming the first librarian to be convicted of other countries' civil war. It was sentenced to 20 years for crimes including murder and rape. Around 250,000 people were killed in Liberia's two conflicts between 1989 and 2003 and many thousands more fled. Switzerland recognizes the principle of universal justice, men in suspect accused of high-profile crimes elsewhere can be tried in its court. The trial was the first under a 2011 Swiss law for the last prosecution for war crimes committed and aware in the world.
