MPs want ICC to probe UPDF
Written by Deo Walusimbi
Lawmakers from northern and
eastern Uganda have urged the International Criminal Court to also
investigate atrocities allegedly committed by the Ugandan army during
the LRA conflict, The Observer has learnt.
At least 10 MPs from Acholi, Lango, West
Nile, and Teso sub-regions told ICC prosecutor Fatou Bensouda on Friday
that although LRA leader Joseph Kony was the main aggressor, he was not
the only one: some government agencies and state agents may have
committed ugly atrocities too.
Bensouda and the MPs met behind closed
doors at Parliament. The prosecutor had earlier told speaker of
parliament Rebecca Kadaga that she had come to Uganda to ask for more
cooperation on the case of LRA commander Dominic Ongwen, and visit the
affected communities in the north to compare notes, listen to their
concerns and clarify issues.
While meeting the MPs from areas ravaged
by 20 years of insurgency, Bensouda reportedly steered clear of
controversy. She said her major focus during the five-day visit to
Uganda was to collect more evidence on Ongwen’s case at The Hague-based
ICC.
She, however, offered a bit of hope to
MPs when she reportedly promised that ICC would not hesitate to summon
government to defend itself against any allegations made by any witness
during Ongwen’s trial.
But her promise, sources said, propelled
MPs to question ICC’s capacity to investigate and prosecute government
agencies and individuals ‘linked’ to some of the atrocities committed
during the more-than-20-year-old insurgency.
MPs, according to sources, also wanted
to know the prosecutor’s take on the severe criticism against ICC by
African presidents, including Museveni. In response, Bensouda said the
criticism would not deter ICC from continuing to pursue cases before
them in order to deter impunity.
On Ongwen’s case, the prosecutor told
Kadaga that while the sudden transfer of Ongwen to The Hague was quite a
surprise to the ICC, it was also “a significant development” which sent
“a very strong signal that no matter how long it may take, you will
find yourself still before the [ICC] if warrants [of arrest] are there
for you.”
