War crimes are violations of the laws of war committed during armed conflict. They can include acts such as targeting civilians, torture, , and the use of child soldiers. In the case of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, war crimes have been committed by various armed groups and security forces during the country's long-running conflicts. These crimes have resulted in immense suffering and loss of life for the Congolese people. It is important for those responsible for war crimes in the DRC to be held accountable for their actions in order to achieve justice and prevent future atrocities.
