The Hague - International Criminal Court judges on Monday convicted a Congolese rebel chief nicknamed"Terminator" of war crimes including horrific massacres of civilians, sexual enslavement and recruitment of child soldiers.
"Mr Ntaganda rallied the troops prior to battle, he gave direct orders to the troops during operations, and he debriefed them afterwards," head judge Robert Fremr declared. "The long-awaited judgment provides an important measure of justice for Bosco Ntaganda’s victims and puts others responsible for grave crimes on notice," said Maria Elena Vignoli of Human Rights Watch .
Judges said Ntaganda"fulfilled a very important military function" as a leader of the Union of Congolese Patriots rebels and its military wing, the Patriotic Forces for the Liberation of Congo . In other attacks, women were"killed either while resisting rape or after being raped" while people were forced to dig mass graves that they were later killed and thrown into.Ntaganda was found guilty of personally shooting dead a Catholic priest and as an"indirect perpetrator" for the other crimes by orders to target civilians.
