A Dutch businessman begins an eight year prison sentence on Wednesday after a Dutch court found him guilty of violating a UN arms embargo on Liberia, officials said. Guus Kouwenhoven, 64, was...acquitted of other charges of war crimes in that country for lack of evidence. It is the first time a court in Europe has convicted a national for breaking a UN arms embargo. The court in The Hague found that Kouwenhoven as managing director of Liberia’s main timber firm, the Oriental Timber Company (OTC), had illegally imported weapons...despite a long-standing UN arms embargo on Liberia.
