The Terminator in ICC Sights
by paco on 14 Jan 2009 | Comments
Lydia Polgreen’s article in the NY Times today about the split in the forces of Congolese militia leader Laurent Nkunda is a good example of how the ICC is creating strains amongst leaders of militia forces. It’s interesting that some of Nkunda’s cohort are talking about turning Jean Bosco Ntaganda (aka The Terminator) over to the ICC - there is an outstanding ICC arrest warrant for Ntaganda, and one can’t help but wonder if this sudden desire by Nkunda to comply with the rule of law isn’t influenced by the likeliness of an ICC warrant being issued against him as well - he may be trying to rack up some points in the positive column with the international community.
