The European Union does not rule out proceedings against the perpetrators of human rights violations in eastern DRC


The European Union does not rule out taking adequate measures against persons, groups or organizations that contribute through their actions to harm the preservation of peace or serious human rights violations in Ituri province , east of the DRC.
This is the statement content made on Wednesday, May 20th by High Representative / Vice-President of the European Union.
" The province of Ituri in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) has been hit for several weeks by an intensification of almost daily attacks against the civil population can be read in the EU statement.
Since the beginning of the year, nearly 300 people have been killed and more than 200 people have fled the atrocities.
These barbaric acts must stop. It is up to the Congolese authorities and the United Nations Stabilization Mission in the DRC (MONUSCO) to put an end to the actions of the CODECO army and to bring the alleged perpetrators to justice. No sense of impunity can prevail. It is also essential to take dialogue first and fight against any use of identity.
What is happening in the eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo cannot become a forgotten crisis; and efforts to put an end to insecurity in this region must be accelerated.
The European Union stands ready to support the efforts of the Congolese authorities in this regard, in coordination with its partners.
