D.R. Congo: Justice for Horrific Crimes Needed
EU Should Provide Funding for Judicial Reforms in D.R. Congo
(London, February 6, 2004) – President Joseph Kabila of the Democratic Republic of Congo should prioritize justice for the horrific crimes committed in the country’s five-year war, Human Rights Watch said in a briefing paper released today.
"Justice for past crimes can help avert worse horrors in the future. President Kabila should move justice to the top of his agenda. "
Alison Des Forges, senior advisor to Human Rights Watch on the Great Lakes
This week President Kabila is visiting Europe to meet with the British, French, German and Belgian governments to discuss their provision of support for the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). The European Commission, in conjunction with U.N. agencies and potential European donors, initiated a mission of independent experts to assess the justice system in the DRC and is expected to recommend funding priorities to the European Union next month.
The 12-page briefing paper, “Confronting Impunity,” highlights significant problems in the DRC limiting the capacity of national courts to prosecute the most serious crimes. Human Rights Watch also makes concrete recommendations of initiatives to ensure that justice can be done.
“Justice for past crimes can help avert worse horrors in the future,” said Alison Des Forges, senior advisor to Human Rights Watch on the Great Lakes. “President Kabila should move justice to the top of his agenda.”
