- DRC Takes Rwanda to the ICJ: Proxy Warfare, Layered Obligations, and the Future of State Responsibility
The Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) filed a case against Rwanda at the International Court of Justice (ICJ), alleging violations of four human rights treaties including genocide, racial discrimination, gender-based violence, and torture. The DRC claims Rwanda failed to prevent or punish these acts, particularly against Hutu and Nyindu communities, and is accused of supporting armed groups like the Mouvement du 23 mars/Alliance Fleuve Congo (M23/AFC).
