20 Feb 2012 by Kimberly E. Carson / 5 Comments
On December 16, 2011, the International Criminal Court (“ICC”) freed war crimes suspect Callixte Mbarushimana. Mbarushimana was the alleged “linchpin” of the Forces Démocratiques pour la Libération du Rwanda (FDLR) campaign of murder, rape, and torture of civilians in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). His release marks a significant setback for the international prosecution of wartime sexual violence.
