concrete to secure his release and repatriation back to Liberia as required by diplomatic intercourse. 6- He further stated that his arrest, trial and imprisonment for 135 years at USP Florence ADMX located in Colorado, United States, runs contrary to ECOWAS Convention on Diplomatic Privileges, immunities and Vienna Convention on Consular Relations as well as the United Nations Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and the Constitution of Liberia. 7- The Plaintiff avers further that all Governments of the Defendants including the Government of President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf are fully aware and placed on judicial notice that the Plaintiff is a Citizen of Liberia and Consul General of Liberia. In spite of this, administration after administration of the Republic of Liberia has only simply acknowledged the foregoing facts, but has totally and absolutely done nothing to secure his release and repatriation back to Liberia. 8- According to him, he avers that the States and Member Countries of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) have jurisdiction over their nationals and in particular Consul General and Diplomats accredited and assigned to foreign Countries to protect their rights and immunities from arbitrary arrest and imprisonment by their receiving States. Since the Government of Liberia has done nothing to protect his rights he brings this complaint. 9- The Plaintiff further avers that the privileges and immunities of a diplomatic agent exempt him from the jurisdiction of the receiving States. Thus, the Plaintiff prays the ECOWAS Community Court of Justice to take Judicial Notice of the foregoing provision of the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations cited supra, and forthwith proceed to order the Government of Liberia to secure his release and repatriation back to Liberia consistent with diplomatic requirements and intercourse. p. 4
