Uganda: warning from Amnesty International

Published on : 22 November 2004 - 12:00am | By International Justice Tribune
More about:

In January 2004, Uganda\'s President Museveni requested the International Criminal Court (ICC) to investigate the situation in the north of the country, which is in the grip of the rebel group Lord\'s Resistance Army (LRA). But it appears that since then he has been doing everything in his power to render the request null and void. On 16 November, Amnesty International expressed concern over a new suggestion by Kampala to judge the crimes committed by a traditional method of reconciliation. «Uganda cannot withdraw its order of January 2004 to the Prosecutor of the ICC, *who+ should state clearly and publicly that he intends to continue investigating with vigour,» it said. Amnesty recalled that in July President Museveni had tried «to prevent all investigations» by the ICC into crimes «committed by members of the Ugandan Armed Forces in the Ituri region» in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) by suggesting in a letter to Kofi Annan that the ICC «suspend all *its+ activities until the peace process in Ituri and DRC is irreversible».
