The DRC Mapping Exercise Report, or the Democratic Republic of the Congo 1993-2003 UN Mapping Report, was a report by the United Nations〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=United Nations Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights )〕 within the Democratic Republic of the Congo in the wake of the armed aggressions and war which took place between March 1993 and June 2003.〔(UN releases D.R. Congo report listing 10 years of atrocities, identifying justice options )〕 Its aim was to map the most serious violations of human rights, together with violations of international humanitarian law, committed within the Democratic Republic of the Congo. In doing this it was to assess the capacities within the national justice system to deal appropriately with such human rights violations and to formulate a series of options aimed at assisting the government of the Democratic Republic of the Congo in identifying appropriate transitional justice mechanisms to deal with the legacy of these violations. It contained 550 pages and contained descriptions of 617 alleged violent incidents.〔(DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF THE CONGO 1993-2003 UN Mapping Report - What is the “DRC Mapping Exercise?” – Objectives, methodology and time frame )〕 The mapping exercise began in 2008, with 33 staff working on the project in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, including Congolese and international human rights experts. The report was submitted to the High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay in 2009.〔(DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF THE CONGO 1993-2003 UN Mapping Report - What is the “DRC Mapping Exercise?” – Objectives, methodology and time frame )〕 The report contains a detailed accounting of the breakup of Hutu refugee camps in eastern Congo at the start of the First Congo war in October 1996, followed by the pursuit of hundreds of thousands of Hutu refugees and Hutu population across the country’s vast hinterland by teams of Rwanda, Burundi and Uganda soldiers and their Congolese rebel surrogates, the Alliance of Democratic Forces for the Liberation of Congo.〔Mapping Exercise Report: (Involvement of neighbouring states )〕 == Context == In the wake of the discovery of three mass graves in the eastern part of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) in late 2005, the United Nations first announced its intention to send a human rights team to conduct a mapping exercise in DRC in a June 2006 report to the Security Council. In May 2007, UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon approved the terms of reference of the mapping exercise following a series of consultations among relevant UN agencies and partners and with the Congolese government.〔(RDC Projet Mapping Exercise )〕 The mapping exercise began officially on 17 July 2008, with the arrival of the team's chief in Kinshasa. Between October 2008 and May 2009, a total of 33 staff worked on the project in the DRC, including Congolese and international human rights experts. Of these, some 20 human rights officers were deployed across the country, operating out of five field offices, to gather documents and information from witnesses to meet the three objectives defined in the terms of reference. The report was submitted to the High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay on 15 June 2009 for review, comments and finalisation. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「DRC Mapping Exercise Report」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
