The International Court of Justice has set the timetable for the Democratic Republic of Congo's case accusing Rwanda of violating international law.
The International Court of Justice (ICJ), the United Nations' highest judicial body, has fixed the timetable for the written phase of the case brought by the Democratic Republic of Congo against Rwanda.
Kinshasa accuses Rwanda of committing crimes through armed groups it describes as Kigali's proxies, including the M23 rebel movement.
It also alleges Rwanda pursued the persecution of Hutu and Nyindu communities and the illegal exploitation of eastern Congo's natural resources.
If the timetable remains unchanged, oral hearings are expected to begin in early 2029, with a judgment potentially delivered about six months later.
