The International Criminal Court on Thursday confirmed charges of war crimes and crimes against humanity against Uganda’s fugitive warlord Joseph Kony
in absentia.
Kony, the leader of the rebel Lord’s Resistance Army, is being charged with 39 counts of war crimes and crimes against humanity, including murder, rape, using child soldiers, sexual slavery and forced pregnancy, between 2002 and 2005, a court decision published Thursday shows.
An arrest warrant against Kony was issued in 2005, making him the ICC’s longest-standing fugitive.
