Summary
Mr Ongwen, who is facing 70 counts of war crimes and crimes against humanity is the first LRA commander to be tried alone after being indicted by the ICC in 2005 for war crimes.
The ICC dropped the arrest warrants for Raska Lukwiya and Okot Odhiambo after the court’s investigations confirmed that they were dead.

As the International Criminal Court (ICC) today delivers its verdict on former Lord’s Resistance Army commander, Dominic Ongwen, at least 108 children remain missing since 2018.
According to a statement issued by three non-governmental organisations which have been tracking LRA activities in the DR Congo and the Central African Republic since 2012, the children are presumed to be in the LRA captivity.
