DR Congo: authorities arrest army commander linked to alleged rapes, UN reports

Below is an article on the prosecution of Jean-Pierre Bemba. This prosecution is the first of its kind, prosecuting rape as a weapon of war as opposed to an effect of war. This article speaks more on the UN's declaration of rape as a weapon of war as discussed in chapter 5 of "Half the Sky" (pg 84).
