Abstract

On 9 February 2022, the International Court of Justice (ICJ) handed down its reparations judgment in the Armed Activities on the Territory of the Congo (Democratic Republic of the Congo v. Uganda) case. This followed from its 19 December 2005 merits judgment which found that Uganda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) had violated international law vis-à-vis each other and were obliged to make reparations to each other. This introductory note provides the background to the reparations judgment, outlines the ICJ's key holdings and reasoning and offers commentary on the same.
