Abstract: 

              The Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) filed an application with the International Court of Justice (ICJ), against Rwanda for its alleged abuses in the country’s east.  The DRC accused Rwanda of bearing responsibility for nearly three decades of violence and unrest in the country’s east, including massacres, displacement and other atrocities. The application is focused on “abuses attributable to Rwanda from 1996 to the present day.”
