Rwanda: Observing the Rules of War?

Submitted by crinadmin on

Summary: The report shows that in May-July
2001 both government and rebel
forces imposed new rules restricting
attacks on civilians in the internal
conflict, enforcing these through
disciplinary measures. In stark
contrast, the new rules did not apply
to fighting by the Rwandan army and
its proxies in eastern Congo’s Kivu
region or to ALIR’s forces there.
