DR Congo: Congolese Warlord Should Face Justice
(Washington, DC, March 18, 2013) - The United States government indicated it would send the Congolese rebel leader Bosco Ntaganda to the International Criminal Court (ICC) to be tried for grave international crimes, Human Rights Watch said today. Ntaganda turned himself in to the US embassy in Kigali, Rwanda, on March 18, 2013.The US State Department confirmed that Ntaganda was in the embassy and that it was consulting with other governments to facilitate what it said was his request to be transferred to The Hague. For several years, the US has called for Ntaganda's arrest and transfer to the ICC. In early 2013 it added Ntaganda to its 'War Crimes Rewards Program,' which offers monetary rewards for information leading to the arrest of suspects wanted by the ICC and other international tribunals.
