Lawyer responsible for setting up Liberia 's long-awaited war crimes court says first trials will take place in next five years .

Justice has so far proved elusive for victims of the back-to-back conflicts that raged in the small West African country between 1989 and 2003 .

Liberia has yet to try anyone for crimes committed during the years of violence which resulted in massacres, mutilation, rape and cannibalism.
