 The Minister of Foreign Affairs Gen Jeje Odongo.
Just hours after Uganda’s Attorney General Kiryowa Kiwanuka disputed the
ruling by the International Court of Justice (ICJ) that Uganda should pay $325
million in war reparations to DRC over minerals looted during the 1998 – 2003
conflict, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has added its voice to reaffirm the
country’s opposition on the ruling.
On February 9, 2022, the ICJ delivered its judgment on the question of

reparation in the case concerning armed activities on the territory of the Congo
(DRC vs Uganda case).
The ICJ ruled that Uganda should pay the DRC $325 million as compensation
for damage that Ugandan forces caused to the DRC in the context of the 1998-
2003 international armed conflict, in which the “armies of not less than eight
different countries were involved.”

wrongful acts for which it is responsible.
“The DRC did not meet the burden the Court placed on it. Indeed, during the
compensation phase, it did not come forward with evidence of even a single
specific injury suffered as a result of any actions of Uganda,” the Ministry said.
“It is therefore, deeply unclear why the ICJ decided to depart from the
requirement it previously imposed on the DRC, let alone how it arrived at the
figure of US$325 million. For the record, Uganda disputes and rejects the
findings of wrongdoing by the Uganda Peoples Defence Forces (UPDF), widely
known as one of the most disciplined forces in the world,” it added.

“Uganda continues to discuss the matter with DRC Government for purposes of
securing a lasting and mutually acceptable solution. Uganda considers the
Judgment an undue interference in this process and in African affairs generally,
a fact towards which the Court appears insufficiently sensitive.”
Uganda insisted that it was not alone in the DRC during the relevant period.
“The Court itself acknowledged the presence of numerous other belligerents.”
Uganda also gave a reminder that the conflict was resolved through a peace
accord signed, “the Lusaka Agreement,” which confirms the existence of other
players during the material period.
“It is, therefore, regrettable that Uganda has been singled out in this fashion.
Many will understandably ask: Why is Uganda alone that is being asked to pay
for whatever supposedly went wrong during the conflict? The answer is that it
is because Uganda has always believed in the international system, and hence
agreed to subject itself to the jurisdiction of the ICJ in 1963 shortly after
independence.”
“Uganda will continue to constructively engage with the brother country of the
DRC on this, and other matters of mutual interest,” the statement by Foreign
Affairs Ministry concluded.
