Congo Files ICJ Case Against Rwanda

The Democratic Republic of Congo has formally launched a historic legal case against Rwanda at the International Court of Justice, accusing it of decades of violence, genocide, and torture in eastern Congo — a conflict rooted in the 1994 Rwandan genocide. Despite two prior failed attempts, Congo is now demanding accountability, reparations, and an end to Rwanda’s alleged support of rebel groups tied to mineral resource exploitation. The U.S. backs the move with new sanctions against a Rwanda-based gold refinery linked to the M23 rebels, as peace talks stall. The ICJ has accepted the case but must first decide if it has jurisdiction — a moment that could reshape regional security and international law.
