Of war what is fun guilty of war crimes and crimes against humanity. A conservative comeback in greece the new Prime Minister about to be sworn in. Is vowing reform and. Amnesty international wants the u. N. To investigate the philippine president s war on drugs citing widespread human rights abuses including. For brazil one the 49th time hauspie peru 3 wanting to clinch the title. A congolese warlord who led a campaign of terror in a corner of his country has been found guilty of war crimes and crimes against humanity Bosco Ntaganda directed mass rape sexual slavery of children the recruitment of child soldiers and a mass murder during a conflict 16 years ago the panel of judges delivered a verdict of guilty on all 18 counts he faced in connection with the killing of thousands of civilians in the it turi region of the democratic republic of congo will be sentenced at a later date. Nicknamed the terminator not on gandhi was 1st indicted in 2006 for allegedly recruiting child soldiers at the time he was a leader of a rwandan backed rebel group then his troops were integrated into the Congolese Army in 2009 and he was made a general the deal collapsed when he was an uprising in 2012 and then formed the m 23 rebel group but after losing a power struggle turned himself over to the u. S. Embassy in the rwandan capital in 2013 welcome web joins us live from nairobi your reading of this verdict. When he was found guilty according to the judge he read out the sentencing so the read out the verdict found guilty of all 18 of those counts of war crimes and crimes against humanity which included conscripting child soldiers murder attempted murder sexual in slave and force of the the spacing civilian populations. But then did the judgment itself include very detailed lists of killings or events that happened villages and towns that the prosecutors had said had been attacked by militia on them to ganders command and to get in there had denied many of the season previously and hes got 30 days now to launch an appeal if he wants to. But members of his Political Party or rather the Political Party to which the militia that he commanded that Political Party the u. P. C. In the democratic republic of congo theyve refuted his responsibility and many other people in the east of the democratic republic of congo who were affected by these conflicts or have a victims of some of the atrocities committed by an armed groups that hes been connected to will see this is there is a little with a justice in a context where accountability for the many atrocities that happened there is actually a fairly rare thing on the issue of accountability malcolm this happened when he was deputy chief of staff so the people that he was on soaring to whats happened to them. Thats a very good question and one that many rights activists and people who monitor these International Justice in this region. Have been asking because many of these conflicts in eastern congo the rebel groups on the ground are often in fact proxies for much more powerful people politicians in kinshasa also in other neighboring countries and in particular one and uganda which are very close both close to it to a region where this province in this province where this conflict was fought and both the government of rwanda and uganda have been accused of supporting arming rebel groups there different times than one campaigner who i spoke to this short while ago said it seems once again its a question of the International Criminal court managing to hold somebody to account but somebody who is very much in the middle of the power structure in terms of these conflicts that happened in the 2nd half of the ninetys and the early 2000 in which millions of people in eastern congo were killed and the government of the people many of the people in the government that were in power then still in power now throughout that region so she was saying that its not the biggest fish its all involved in this conflict that has been held to account for the Court Behavior i see you see clearly for them and for the people who listen to the case this was particularly significant because what he did the scale of it was big and it had a particularly vicious systematic dynamic as well. That conflict around that time in 3 districts 2002 to 2003 had become a very brutal interesting conflict between militias connected to their. To their hammer and to the lendu ethnic groups although as i said a minute ago is also in some ways a proxy war between neighboring rwanda and neighboring uganda. Sides are accused of massacring hundreds of civilians and going into villages killing everybody of of of the group the group in which they were we have a conflict really quite ruthless way of fighting and the judge said in the ruling just a short while ago this was quite deliberate and he said that the gun was found guilty of ordering quite deliberately ordering some of these terrible crimes to be committed certainly not the only place where the only time in eastern congo where weve seen that kind of brutal violence is targeting civilians and weve spent quite a bit of time there over the years and its very normal among these rebel groups to live by the sword die by the sword expedition killings targeting of civilians tragically become a very normal thing for armed groups in the way that they operate there definitely was there was a very heinous level of violence that once again that was accused of and now found guilty of by the International Criminal court there are other allegations longstanding allegations surrounding alleged similar incidents in the province of north did that province north keevil sigur in this particular case or is that still the yet to be dealt with. No yeah i didnt figure in this particular case and to get into itself has been involved with the armed groups ever since he was about 17 years old in their around their early 1990 s. And 1st joined the one to Patriotic Front for everyone they were brought to go to. The government still the regime still in power then now the jurisdiction of the International Criminal court began in 2001 and its atrocities only of atrocities that he allegedly committed in 20022003 that prosecutors brought charges but as you say when he was involved in rwanda back rebel group called the c n d p 2008 men under his command massacred about 150 civilians in the village of. But that wasnt part of this trial it was specifically crimes that the prosecutor said were committed to the end 2002 the beginning of 2003 which he was tried and now found guilty malcolm thanks very much. Its well the International Criminal court was founded in 2002 saying there seemed to bring to justice perpetrators of major crimes such as genocide war crimes and crimes against humanity however its been accused of political and regional bias most of the 27 cases opened by the i. C. C. Were connected to crimes in africa the court has 122 members but it does not include the United States russia and china they dont accept its jurisdiction the u. S. Has imposed travel bans on i.
