women and girls from the Central African Republic turn to the ICC for justice
Summary
In 2005, the ICC (International Criminal Court) issued arrest warrants against Joseph Kony and four other senior LRA (Lord's Resistance Army) commanders for crimes against humanity and war crimes committed in northern Uganda. The following year, Kony and the LRA moved out of northern Uganda, conducting operations in several neighboring countries including the Central African Republic. Since February 2008, the rebel group has been carrying out attacks in the southeastern provinces of the Central African Republic. It is estimated that hundreds of women and girls have been abducted and forcibly recruited by the LRA in attacks against the civilian population of the Central African Republic
