Uganda: ICC investigates war crimes

A team from the International Criminal Court (ICC) is in Uganda to investigate alleged atrocities committed in the war between government troops and the rebels of the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA), UN officials said on Wednesday. "A team of nine ICC people is in Uganda," Andrew Timpson, who works for the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), was quoted by AFP as saying. "They have started soliciting for interpreters for the local Luo language and Swahili and have also met human rights groups and non-governmental organisations," Timpson added.
