ICC war crimes trial still not in sight
 (SomaliNet) The beginning of the first, historic, trial by the International Criminal Court in The Hague is still not in sight. The court's Board of Appeal has ruled that the case against Thomas Lubanga, the Congolese man suspected of war crimes, was correctly adjourned in June. Mr Lubanga is suspected of recruiting and deploying child soldiers in the civil war in the Democratic Republic of Congo. The court adjourned the trial in June due to concerns that Mr Lubanga would not receive a fair hearing. Procedural regulations had prevented his defence lawyers from viewing all the evidence. Mr Lubanga remains behind bars while steps are taken to determine how the trial can proceed. Posted by: Fred 2008-10-23 |
