Congo takes Rwanda back to UN court over decades of bloodshed
The Democratic Republic of Congo has accused Rwanda of orchestrating decades of violence in eastern Congo, including killings and persecution, and is seeking accountability at the UN's International Court of Justice. The case alleges Rwanda violated human rights treaties by exploiting the 1994 Rwandan genocide as a pretext for cross-border operations targeting Hutu refugees and Congolese civilians.
