Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More than forty years elapsed between the Democratic Republic of Congo's democratic poll in 1960 upon gaining independence from Belgium and the country's constitutional referendum of 18-19 December 2005, in which 84% of the voters endorsed a new 229-article constitution. The referendum represented a major turning point for Africa's largest civil war, which claimed more than 3.5 million lives since 1998, left 3.4 million internally displaced, and forced 443,000 refugees into asylum in nine bordering nations. With the nation's sovereignty at stake and the transitional government's mandate expiring in June 2006, DR Congo's transitional President Joseph Kabila urged the populace to support the new constitution, warning that rejection of it would be "catastrophic." This paper examines the process of the constitutional referendum, from drafting the constitution to voter results, and discusses key issues related to refugees, women's political rights, and citizenship.
Download or read book Contested Justice written by Christian De Vos and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2015-12-18 with total page 525 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The International Criminal Court emerged in the early twenty-first century as an ambitious and permanent institution with a mandate to address mass atrocity crimes such as genocide and crimes against humanity. Although designed to exercise jurisdiction only in instances where states do not pursue these crimes themselves (and are unwilling or unable to do so), the Court's interventions, particularly in African states, have raised questions about the social value of its work and its political dimensions and effects. Bringing together scholars and practitioners who specialise on the ICC, this collection offers a diverse account of its interventions: from investigations to trials and from the Court's Hague-based centre to the networks of actors who sustain its activities. Exploring connections with transitional justice and international relations, and drawing upon critical insights from the interpretive social sciences, it offers a novel perspective on the ICC's work. This title is also available as Open Access.

This book was released on 2024-07-25 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For over twenty-five years, the Democratic Republic of the Congo has been depicted by the media as a nation in turmoil. Armed militias and armies ravage villages, stealing crops and minerals, while proxy wars displace countless citizens. Political violence, corruption, and social insecurity plague the nation, leading to a humanitarian crisis where fundamental human rights are routinely violated. This book delves into the harrowing realities of life in Congo, where public education and healthcare are in shambles, and most people live on less than two dollars a day. Amidst this, political leaders enjoy exorbitant salaries while public servants endure poverty. This empirical research critically examines the gap between the constitutional provisions of human rights and their implementation, presenting stark indicators of a failed state. By analyzing the human rights situation from the Universal Declaration of Human Rights to the current state Constitution, the book reveals the Congo's descent into chaos and calls for accountability for its violations.

This book was released on 2013-07-23 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper on the Democratic Republic of Congo discusses economic policies and development. The macroeconomic and budget framework has been developed to take into account the effects of sectoral policies to maintain macroeconomic stability, a necessary condition for laying the foundation of economic growth and poverty reduction. It is based on the profile of public spending, the assessment of costs for achieving the Millennium Development Goals by 2020, and the sector-based economic growth theories taking into account the uncertainties of the international environment and the real potential of the Congolese economy. It is found that it allows for a realistic programming of public spending while highlighting the main budgetary choices proposed by the government.

Book excerpt: With a critical brush, this study depicts the history, the legal basis, the financial aspects and more generally the complicated process of decentralization in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), from the colonial days (1908-1960) to the provincial elections held in December 2018. A recurrent fixture of institutional design throughout the country's turbulent history, decentralization constitutes one of the most ambitious projects of the 2006 Congolese Constitution and certainly one of the most challenging areas of administrative law in the DRC. Short of a federal state, the DRC is in terms of Constitution a highly decentralized state. The Constitution divides the former 11 provinces into 26 new territorial units.However, the process has hit a slew of difficult hurdles. Overall, it emerges that the rolling out of the decentralization policy and its timing have been significantly driven by political calculations more than resource constraints, recently by an attempt by the ruling government to divide provinces into smaller ones in order to prolong its rule.Even after the effective partition of the 11 former provinces, the process still suffers further complications, for example, delays and logistic problems in electing new governors in 2015, which in turn led to litigation before the Constitutional Court in September that year. These difficulties take place in a broader context of even greater challenges. The latter include insufficient capacity of provincial administrators, fiscal decentralization, the questionable economic viability of most provinces, and repeated internal wrangling that has already culminated in the removal or resignation of governors in several provinces.The trials and tribulations of decentralization in Africa's second largest country - and one of its most populous, least developed yet resource-richest countries - will enlighten experts and policy makers in other countries. This case study straddles the fields of law, politics and history. It can thus considerably serve constitutional lawyers, policy makers and historians in other countries.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past two decades, the Democratic Republic of Congo has been at the centre of the deadliest series of conflicts since the Second World War, and now hosts the largest United Nations peacekeeping mission in the world. In this compelling book, acclaimed journalist Michael Deibert paints a picture of a nation in flux, inching towards peace but at the same time solidifying into another era of authoritarian rule under its enigmatic president, Joseph Kabila. Featuring a wealth of first-hand interviews and secondary sources, the narrative travels from war-torn villages in the country's east to the chaotic, pulsing capital of Kinshasa in order to bring us the voices of the Congolese - from impoverished gold prospectors and market women to government officials - as it explores the complicated political, ethnic and economic geography of this tattered land. A must-read for anyone interested in contemporary Africa, The Democratic Republic of Congo: Between, Hope and Despair sheds new light on this sprawling and often misunderstood country that has become iconic both for its great potential and dashed hopes.

Book excerpt: Nine contributors offer pioneering work on the scope and nature of electoral violence in Africa; investigate the forms electoral violence takes; and analyze the factors that precipitate, reduce, and prevent violence.
