THE HAGUE (Reuters) - Judges at the International Criminal Court (ICC) on Monday ruled that prosecutors can bring a hearing on charges against fugitive Ugandan warlord Joseph Kony in his absence on Oct. 15.
Kony, the founder and leader of the Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA), is the ICC's longest standing fugitive. An arrest warrant was issued against him in 2005 for 33 counts of war crimes and crimes against humanity.
