KAMPALA, Feb. 3 (Xinhua) Judges at the Hague-based International Criminal Court (ICC) will on Thursday give their verdict on whether or not a Ugandan former child soldier is liable of war crimes and crimes against humanity.
Experts see it as a defining moment for the victims of a two-decade-long rebellion in northern Uganda until 2006, which made homeless over 1.9 million people and left tens of thousands of people dead.
Uganda took the Lord s Resistance Army (LRA) rebel case to the ICC in December 2003, close to two years after the global court was founded to address war crimes and crimes against humanity.
