dc.description.abstract | Through the complementarity principle of the InternationalCriminal Court, international criminal law enforcement istransferred from international courts to national courts. This hasled to an increase of international actors’focus on national courtsto achieve international criminal justice. The Democratic Republicof the Congo (DRC) presents a significant example to examinethe prosecution of international crimes by national courts andinternational actors’support to Congolese legal system topromote complementarity and international criminal justice.International actors provide assistance to mobile hearings toprosecute international crimes and to implementcomplementarity at the national level in the eastern DRC. Thisarticle explores mobile hearings through their role inimplementing complementarity in the DRC and international andnational influences on mobile hearings regarding the prosecutionof international crimes. The main argument is that althoughmobile hearings are significant to bring justice closer to localcommunities and increase the visibility of justice in remote andrural areas, their independence is in question as a result of theselective interest of international actors and political interferencescoming from Congolese political and military elites | en_US |
