"The deterioration in the situation in the Democratic Republic of Congo is extremely worrying, especially the continuing atrocities in the province of Kivu. The number of victims has increased at an appalling rate, with civilians, especially children, women and elderly people, being the hardest hit. Thousands of women have been raped, mutilated and killed, while many of the survivors are infected with the HIV virus. The perpetrators of these crimes need to be punished. This is why the fight against impunity needs to be stepped up and the judicial system strengthened. It is right for us to insist further on setting up a special court to try cases involving genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity. In a country where three quarters of the population are living in poverty and which is facing a severe refugee crisis, the consequence of non-compliance with democratic rules when organising elections and of the violation of human rights is to lock Congolese society into a vicious circle of instability, violence and underdevelopment. Therefore, I call on the Commission to take action to get the Congolese authorities to implement the recommendations made in the EU Election Observation Mission’s report."@en1
