Khan praised the Ugandan government for its vital role in putting an end to the Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA) insurgency in Northern Uganda and its support to ICC in prosecuting the war criminals.
“I’m very grateful to share your knowledge of history and understanding of the region. This has been a very productive meeting and I hope to come to Uganda again for more such engagements,” he said.
The ICC recently closed its investigations into alleged crimes against humanity and war crimes against five Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA).
Khan said the investigations were closed due to the fact that Pre-Trial Chamber II terminated proceedings against Raska Lukwiya, Okot Odhiambo and Vincent Otti due to their deaths, while Dominque Ongwen had been convicted and LRA leader Joseph Kony was still at large.
