On May 23, 2014, Trial Chamber II of the International Criminal Court (ICC) sentenced (French only) Germain Katanga to a total of twelve years’ imprisonment. He was found guilty (French only) in March 2014, as an accessory, of one count of crimes against humanity and four counts or war crimes during the attack on the village of Bogoro, in the Ituri district of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. According to the press release, “the Chamber stressed that the crimes committed . . . in Bogoro were committed with particular cruelty” and that Mr. Katanga “had made a significant contribution to the commission of the crimes.”  It also took account of Mr. Katanga’s “conduct after the events and, in particular, his active participation in the demobilisation process implemented in Ituri for the benefit of the child soldiers and, to a certain extent, of his personal situation.”
