The Hague - The Sierra Leone tribunal has formally asked the Netherlands to host the war crimes trial of former Liberian leader Charles Taylor, the ministry of foreign affairs said here on Thursday.
"Wednesday the Sierra Leone special court asked the Dutch government to agree to allow the physical judicial process to take place in the Netherlands, but it would remain the Sierra Leone tribunal," foreign ministry spokesperson Dirk-Jan Vermeij said.
He added that the Netherlands was willing to co-operate with such a trial if strict conditions are met first.
