Human rights
Throughout the years Nkunda has come under scrutiny and been accused by a number of organizations of committing human rights abuses. Nkunda has been indicted for war crimes in September 2005 and is under investigation by the International Criminal Court.[12]
According to human rights monitors such as Refugees International, Nkunda's troops have been alleged to have committed acts of murder, rape, and pillaging of civilian villages; a charge which Nkunda denies.[18] Amnesty International says his troops have abducted children as young as 12 and forced them to serve as child soldiers.[19]
In May 2002, he was accused of massacring 160 people in Kisangani, prompting UN Human Rights Commissioner Mary Robinson to call for his arrest following the abduction and beating of two UN investigators by his troops.[12] He has claimed that the UN have ignored the widespread attacks on Tutsis in the region as they did during the Rwandan Genocide in 1994.
[edit] Child Soldiers
Nkunda strongly denies recruiting child soldiers, stating that as of 2005 he has demobilised 2,500 "young soldiers"[20] and is still doing so, making it ridiculous to then still recruit more. His total army is estimated at 7,000 - 8,000 men.
