DRC/Uganda: DRC takes Uganda to Hague court

The International Court of Justice at The Hague has begun hearing a complaint filed by the Democratic Republic of Congo against Uganda. The DRC accuses its neighbour of invading its territory, committing human rights violations and massacring Congolese civilians. It is also demanding reparations for destruction and looting allegedly carried out by Ugandan troops. Uganda denies the claims and accuses the DRC of acts of aggression.
