KAMPALA-UGANDA/NEWSDAY: Uganda has rejected findings of wrongdoing by the Uganda Peoples’ Defence Forces (UPDF) in DRC, and said it considers yesterday’s judgment by the International Court of Justice (ICJ) “unfair and wrong.”
In a statement released by the Foreign Affairs Ministry, government said the decision by the ICJ is a good example of outsiders interfering in African affairs.
“In Uganda’s view, the court’s judgment on reparation does not contribute to peace and security, or the spirit of cooperation between the two countries and in the wider Great Lakes Region. Nor does it inspire confidence in the court as the fair and credible arbiter of international disputes that the framers of the UN Charter intended it to be,” reads the statement in part.
