Z Source: www.exchange-rates.org World Africa Liberia (Notes) Liberia - Government and Political Conditions (Notes) GOVERNMENT AND POLITICAL CONDITIONS Liberia has a bicameral legislature consisting of 64 representatives and 30 senators. Historically, the executive branch heavily influenced the legislature and judicial system, the latter being largely dysfunctional for now. The 2005 election placed a spectrum of political personalities in the legislature, most for six-year terms. Senior senators were elected for nine-year terms. Party structures remain weak, and politics continues to be personality-driven. The judiciary is divided into four levels, including justices of the peace, courts of record (magistrate courts), courts of first instance (circuit and specialty courts), and the Supreme Court. Traditional courts and lay courts exist in rural areas of the country. Trial by ordeal, though officially outlawed, is practiced in various parts of Liberia. Locally, political power emanates from traditional chiefs (town, clan, or paramount chiefs), mayors, and district commissioners. Mayors are elected in principal cities in Liberia. Superintendents appointed by the president govern the counties. There are 15 counties in Liberia.

In a statement issued early this week at the start of a 10-day rights-based training on HIV/AIDS programming at Cuttington University, The ActionAid boss said women face significant barriers in the HIV situation in the country, and called for people to "stop criminalizing women living with the virus." He said most affected women were victims of domestic violence and other criminal activities, in which they had limited opportunities to protect themselves. "What strength does a woman have to compel an armed rapist to use condom?" Gaie questioned. He said as a consequence of the situation faced by all Liberians, where women are most affected, it is incumbent upon the government and the community to provide more support for the women. He said "the government would do better if their strategy ensures that those most affected are brought to the fore and provided more opportunities."

History Africa's first republic, Liberia was founded in 1822 as a result of the efforts of the American Colonization Society to settle freed American slaves in West Africa. The society contended that the emigration of blacks to Africa was an answer to the problem of slavery and the incompatibility of the races. Over the course of forty years, about 12,000 slaves were voluntarily relocated. Originally called Monrovia, the colony became the Free and Independent Republic of Liberia in 1847.
