Congo Killings Will Get Court's Attention
September 10, 2003
By REUTERS
UNITED NATIONS, Sept. 9 - The chief prosecutor for the new
International Criminal Court said today that his first
investigations would focus on recent massacres and other
crimes in the eastern Congo region of Ituri.
Luis Moreno-Ocampo, an Argentine, cited estimates of at
least 5,000 civilians having been killed in Ituri since
July 2002.
He said the crimes could fit into the jurisdiction of the
court, set up in The Hague.
"Mass killings are just one type of crime being committed
in Ituri," he said. "Crimes specifically targeting women
and children are also widespread in the area, according to
Unicef reports. Hundreds of women and girls are being
raped, mutilated and killed in the province."
