Summary
The Democratic Republic of Congo has filed a case against Rwanda at the International Court of Justice (ICJ), accusing its neighbour of breaching multiple international treaties. In a statement, DR Congo said Rwanda had dispatched forces and backed armed groups to carry out unlawful military operations on its territory following the 1994 Rwandan genocide. UN experts and Western governments are among various parties who say Rwanda is supporting the M23, a major armed group in DR Congo's east.
Furthermore, In 2006 the ICJ dismissed a second case, saying it could not proceed because Rwanda had not recognised its jurisdiction. Rwanda has not yet responded to DR Congo's filing, but it has long-dismissed evidence that it backs rebel groups in the country. Rwanda’s response to the case had not been included in the ICJ’s announcement.
