Dear Listeners,

On February 4, 2021, the Trial Chamber of the International Criminal Court (ICC) convicted Dominic Ongwen, a former commander of the Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA) of 61 counts of war crimes and crimes against humanity including torture, enslavement, attempted murder, murder, outrages upon personal dignity, destruction of property, forced marriage, forced pregnancy, persecution and pillaging committed during the attacks on IDP camps in Abok, Lukodi, Odek and Pajule.

The Refugee Law Project with funding from the Democratic Governance Facility (DGF) and in partnership with York University’s Conjugal Slavery in War Partnership hosted a Zoom discussion on 17 February 2020 bringing together voices of victims from the two-decade war between the LRA and the Ugandan army. Participants shared a variety of perspectives on the recent verdict.

Enjoy Listening. For more information about the audio clips, write to [email protected] or [email protected] for information about the virtual meeting.

Thank you.
