This article addresses the “paradox between peace and justice” that has emerged in discussions about the relationship between the International Criminal Court [ICC] and traditional forms of justice, namely the Acholi tradition of "Mato Oput" in Uganda. While its sees the merit of using a traditional system this article also points out the potential danger of using these mechanisms as an excuse to avoid moral and legal accountability. |

LIMINAIRES
La taxe sur la valeur
ajoutée, ou TVA, est l'impôt sur la dépense que la plupart des pays ont intégré
dans leur législation, compte tenu de sa neutralité économique et de sa
relative simplicité, semble-t-il. Mise en place en France en 1954, elle est
devenue peu à peu l'impôt sur la consommation dans plusieurs pays du monde y
compris la République Démocratique du Congo [RDC] depuis le 1
Janvier 2012 [1]. |

It is normal to think thatthe indebtedness of Democratic Republic of
Congo [DRC] and potential threats such Vulture
Fund activity increase the cost of doing business in some countries such as the
DRC.
In fact, the DRC has started thinking how
to protect investors against such practices as Vulture Funds not only litigate
against debtor countries, they also pursue solvent companies that have
contracted to do business with the countries.
In order to protect themselves from
Vulture fund litigation, most trading partners of countries targeted by Vulture
Funds adjust the price of their contracts to insure against expensive litigation,
and the competing claims of Vulture Funds. |

“The publication of the Mapping report is an important event for the DRC. However, this will become meaningful only when the Congolese themselves, and the Congolese government, will stand up with determination to make accountable those accused of mass crimes and human rights violations by the report.” « La publication du rapport ‘Mapping’ est un événement important pour la RDC ; mais cette importance n’aura de sens que si le peuple Congolais ensemble avec le gouvernement s’engage de manière résolue à demander des comptes aux auteurs des crimes et violations décrits dans ce rapport. |
