This is the second vlog in a four part in-depth interview series with WITNESS' Bukeni Waruzi, who has worked on the issue of child soldiers for more than a decade. In January 2009, Bukeni traveled to The Hague to attend the International Criminal Court's (ICC) first trial ever - a trial against Congolese warlord Thomas Lubanga Dyilo, accused of conscripting children under the age of fifteen to fight on the frontlines of his rebel army.
Learn more about the history of the war in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) in this vlog Bukeni recorded during the 2008 Congo Action Week and check out the Hub blog to stay updated on the developments of the Lubanga Trial at the ICC.
