Revolutionary United Front Judgment Available

I just checked the website of the Special Court for Sierra Leone, and the judgment in the Revolutionary United Front case is still not available (see http://www.sc-sl.org/CASES/RevolutionaryUnitedFrontTrialRUF/RUFJudgment/tabid/174/Default.aspx). However, I have managed to obtain a copy: http://www.mediafire.com/?kykwt5mxmx2. Check out the very quotable Judge Thompson: 'As I have had occasion to express elsewhere on another subject, applying incoherent,disparate and unsettled principles of law is fraught with judicial perils which, inevitably, make us judges “victims of the fallacy of slippery precedents.” (at p. 697)
Thanks to Simon Meisenberg and Fidelma Donlon.
