A picture released by the Special Court for Sierra Leone shows the Special Court's landmark courthouse in Freetown, where the UN-backed war crimes tribunal for Sierra Leone on October 26, 2009 will deliver its final verdict over atrocities during the African nation's decade-long civil war in which 120,000 people died and thousands more had limbs chopped off. Created in January 2002, the Special Court for Sierra Leone (SCSL) is a hybrid of international and local law under a deal between the west African country's government and the United Nations.
