	CNN.com - Ghana's Rawlings at rights panel - Feb. 12, 2004
		Ghana's former President Jerry Rawlings appeared Thursday before a human rights commission probing allegations of murder and torture during five military administrations, including his own.
		Many were expecting explosive revelations from the outspoken and charismatic Rawlings, who ruled the country for 20 years, but the commission did not ask him any questions about his possible direct involvement in a number of high-profile killings.
		Rawlings, who led coups in 1979 and 1981 and had three former heads of state shot on a beach for corruption, was summoned as part of an investigation into the 1982 murders of three judges and a retired army officer, as well as the 1984 killing of a soldier.

		I will remind you of the three conditions of intervention: an evident case of external aggression; a rapid deployment force placed under the command of the attacked State; the final decision regarding intervention is taken, in complete sovereignty, by the aggressed and only by the aggressed state.
		The first is that of a state which is a victim of an overwhelming aggression: its institutions are destroyed.
		The second situation, which is catastrophic if it occurs, is actually that of state collapse: all of us recall the cases of Sierra Leone and Liberia where hundreds of thousands of Africans were victims of the cruelty of armed gangs in the total absence of any legal authorities.

		Ghana has turned the political situation around, however, with democratic elections held like clockwork, every four years since 1992.
		Western governments desperately want Ghana to succeed, to be the one that worked in a region characterised by conflict, corruption and economic stagnation.

		It became a frontline state for the liberation of Southern Africa from Portuguese rule and from white minority governments.
		The more radical African heads of state, like Ghana's Kwame Nkrumah, regarded Nyerere's use of British troops as "neo-colonial" and unworthy of an official host to liberation movements elsewhere.
