Online Museum of Congolese Victims of the War

 
In the absence of initiatives by the Congolese government to honor the victims of the deadliest war since World War II with more than 5 million deaths which resulted in disastrous consequences for the Congolese young girls and women raped, forced into sexual slavery, forced labor and tortured. Unfortunately the perpetrators remain unpunished.We announce the following: 
En l'absence d'initiatives prises par le gouvernement congolais pour honorer les victimes de la guerre la plus meurtrière depuis la Seconde Guerre mondiale avec plus de 5 millions de morts qui a entraîné des conséquences désastreuses pour les jeunes filles congolaises et les femmes violées, contraintes à l'esclavage sexuel, le travail forcé et de torture. Malheureusement, les auteurs restent impunis. Nous annonçons ce qui suit:
CONGO MUSEUM
The Congolese Online Museum, which was launched in honor of more than five million people who lost their lives in armed conflict in the DRC continues to collect images and photos of victims. Visit http://www.congowarmuseum.org  
Le musée en ligne congolais, qui a été lancé en l'honneur des plus de cinq millions de personnes qui ont perdu leur vie dans les conflits armés en RDC continue de recueillir des images et des photos de victimes. Visitez http://www.congowarmuseum.org  
We can give dignity and honor those victims of this murderous war since the Second World War by exposing the horror and pain suffered. Given the moral and educational value, images of victims of this war, deserve to be archived in the form of books, museums and other public tributes.

Nous pouvons donner la dignité et l'honneur aux victimes de cette guerre meurtrière depuis la Seconde Guerre mondiale en exposant  les horreurs et les douleurs subies. Compte tenu de la valeur morale et éducative, les images des victimes de cette guerre, méritent d'être archivées dans les formes de livres, de musées et d'autres hommages publics.

Le musée est aussi un rappel visible pour nous tous sur ce qui se passe quand nous ne parvenons pas à résoudre nos conflits pacifiquement. Les conflits sont inévitables, mais ils peuvent être résolus pacifiquement, mais aussi  un puissant rappel que les personnes accusées de crimes de guerre et de crimes contre l'humanité au Congo doivent être tenus pour responsables, indépendamment de leur affiliation politique, groupe ethnique et leur positions au sein du gouvernement.

The museum is also a visible reminder to us all about what happens when we fail to resolve our conflicts peacefully and also a powerful reminder why those accused of war crimes and crimes against humanity in Congo must be held accountable, regardless of their political affiliation, ethnicity and their positions in government. Conflicts are inevitable, but we can be resolved peacefully.

FW: MJPC Urges the ICC to Refer Congo to the UN (Security Council) on Ntaganda

 
Press Release
MJPC Urges the ICC to Refer Congo to the UN (Security Council) on Ntaganda

 
"There are serious dangers in continuing to allow Congo defy the ICC arrest warrant against Ntaganda;  its sends a wrong message and could have disastrous effects in other countries"
 
Sacramento, California, April 14, 2009: Citing the importance for the newly-created International Criminal Court (ICC) to remain an impeccably impartial institution, the MJPC reiterated its call on the ICC to refer the DR Congo to the Security Council for possible sanctions.
 
The  MJPC (Mobilization for Justice and Peace in the Congo) warned that in the Congo as elsewhere, the ICC as a new international instrument  to promote the rule of law and ensure that the gravest international crimes do not go unpunished could quickly lose its moral value if it does not take concrete steps to start enforcing its own issued arrest warrants.
 
"Frankly the ICC cannot put off forever bringing the DR Congo before the Security Council for its continuing refusal to execute the outstanding ICC arrest warrant against Ntaganda," said Makuba Sekombo, Director of Community Affairs of the MJPC, an organization that strongly denounces  defying  ICC arrest warrants in Congo. "There are serious dangers in continuing to allow Congo defy this arrest warrant, its sends a wrong message and could have disastrous effects in other countries,"  added Sekombo.  

Ntaganda is accused of several war crimes and crimes against humanity including: the massacres of 150 people in the town of Kiwanja in 2008 in his duties as  military chief of staff of the National Congress for the Defense of the People (CNDP),  torturing and killing of hundreds of civilians of Lendu and Ngiti ethnicity between August 2002 and March 2003 when he was chief of military operations of the Union of Congolese Patriots (UPC), slaughtering of at least 800 civilians on ethnic grounds at Mongbwalu, including the first priest killed in the Ituri conflict, Abbe Boniface Bwanalonga, killing of a Kenyan UN peacekeeper in January 2004 and  kidnapping a Moroccan peacekeeper later that year, and recruiting child soldiers in the eastern region of Ituri. The MJPC is strongly urging the Congolese  Government and MONUC to execute the arrest warrant issued by the ICC against Ntaganda.

According to Mr. Sekombo, the failure in the arrest of Bosco Ntaganda to date highlights the lack of seriousness in enforcing arrest warrants issued by the ICC and strongly urges the ICC to refer the case of Ntaganda to the UN Security Council  to find solutions in accordance with Article 87, paragraph 7 of the Treaty of Rome. 
 
The MJPC is calling  for Congo to be taken to the Security Council, as it claims Kinshasa is in clear violation of  the ICC treaty which Congo ratified in 2002. The ICC cannot afford to ignore its statutory responsibility to report this matter" to the Security Council," he said, adding that  the Security Council would have the authority to require Congo  to take all necessary corrective measures to enforce all ICC arrest warrants immediately.


An online petition has been set up asking concerned citizens around the world to demand the UN Mission in Congo known as MONUC and the Congolese Government  to act decisively to enforce the ICC outstanding arrest warrants against  Ntaganda. The petition can be signed at http://www.gopetition.com.au/online/24459.html

MJPC Joined HRW in Calling to hold the Congolese Army Accountable for War Crimes

Failing to hold accountable soldiers who commit war crimes and crimes against humunity will result in conitnued sexual violence against girls and women in the DR Congo


The Mobilization for Justice and Peace in the DR Congo (MJPC) called for a full inquiry into new allegations of continuing rape and sexual violence committed by the Congolese Army after a recent report by Human Rights Watch revealed shocking new evidence. The report documents how the Congolese Army (FARDC) has been committing serious human rights abuses that amount to war crimes in East Congo and calls on the UN Security Council to demand the Congolese Government to immediatly investigate and hold accountable soldiers responsible for war crimes.

The MJPC is gravely concerned at continuing reports of sexual violence in eastern Congo. Makuba Sekombo, MJPC's Community Affairs Director, stresses "paramount importance of sending a clear message to all armed groups in the region – and to the victims of sexual violence in the DR Congo – that rape and other forms of sexual violence are unacceptable and will not be tolerated regardless of the circumstances". "Congolese army officers are not above international criminal law", and "Congo has clear international law obligations to do something effective to protect girls and women from sexual violence" added Sekombo.

Rather than receiving appropriate medical and psychosocial care, women and child survivors of rape and sexual violence in eastern Congo continue to face rejection and stigma while the perpetrators of the crime go unpunished. The MJPC has launched an online petition calling on the Congolese Government to put urgently in place a comprehensive program of compensation for the victims of sexual violence which will encourage victims of sexual violence in Eastern Congo to report perpetrators to police and to express their needs for access to medical treatment, psychological services and other social resources.

The petition can be signed at http://www.gopetition.com.au/online/26180.html . "While no amount of money can reverse or address the impact of sexual violence on victims, the MJPC maintains that in this way, society at large, through the government, can acknowledge the humiliation suffered, shock and pain experienced by victims and provide the resources to help victims rebuild their lives.

About MJPCMJPC is a non-profit organization working to add a voice in advocating for justice and peace in the DRC particulary in the east of DRC where thousands innocent civilian including children and women continue to suffer massive human rights violations while armed groups responsible for these crimes go unpunished.
