MONUC welcomes transfer of Germain Katanga to the ICC in the Hague
Germain Katanga is the second Congolese suspect transferred to the world court, after Thomas Lubanga
MONUC congratulates the Government of the DRC for taking this important step in the fight against impunity, and for its continued cooperation with the ICC. MONUC pledges its support in helping the Government strengthen its own internal judicial proceedings for such crimes, considering that the jurisdiction of the ICC is complementary to the primary jurisdiction of Congolese courts.
MONUC reiterates its willingness to continue to assist the DRC's government attempts to bring to justice all those who have been responsible for serious human rights violations, in conformity with its mandate.
