DRC has taken Rwanda to the world court over genocide again. A law scholar explains what’s different this time

The Democratic Republic of Congo has once more filed a case against Rwanda at the International Court of Justice, this time focusing on the ongoing violence in its eastern region. This marks the third attempt to bring Rwanda to the world court over allegations of genocide. What sets this case apart is the new legal arguments and evidence presented, aiming to address past shortcomings. This move is significant as it underscores the DRC's ongoing struggle to seek justice and stability in a region plagued by conflict and cross-border violence.
