By seeking justice for those who suffer human rights violations and accountability for those who commit them, Human Rights Watch serves as a powerful force for oppressed people around the world. In the following pages, we offer an illustrative survey of our impact across the globe. We focus on two campaigns that demonstrate the reach of our work, from the battlefields of eastern Congo to the crime labs of Los Angeles. In the Democratic Republic of Congo, we promoted accountability for violence against civilians and made great strides in securing the prosecution of sexual violence and curbing the recruitment of child soldiers. In the United States, we worked with a group of Human Rights Watch supporters to give voice to forgotten rape victims and succeeded in putting justice within reach for thousands of women and girls. We carried on this work despite the precipitous decline of the economy. We are enormously grateful to those of you who helped us through this difficult time, some even with enhanced gifts. We would like to pay tribute to two of our close colleagues—both giants of the human rights movement—who lost their lives in the past year. In February, Alison Des Forges, Human Rights Watch’s senior researcher for Central Africa and the world’s leading expert on Rwanda, died in a plane crash. In July, Natalia Estemirova, a human rights activist from Chechnya whom we honored in 2007 with the Human Rights Watch Defender Award, was murdered for her efforts. We dedicate this report to Alison and Natalia, and promise to carry on their important work.

While many peace accords have been signed, Congo’s civilians continue to face open warfare, political violence, the recruitment of child soldiers, and endemic rape. Human Rights Watch is aggressively fighting this pervasive injustice on multiple fronts. And while we’ve got a long way to go, we’re starting to see the impact of our efforts.

PROSECUTING RAPE

Congo has one of the world’s highest rates of sexual violence against women and girls. Since 1998, more than 200,000 women and girls have 16,000 been raped. Three staff members, including our executive director, met cases of sexual violence with President Joseph Kabila in July 2009 to request urgent action to end were recorded by the impunity for rape. Two days later the UN in 2008 Congolese government announced a policy of “zero tolerance” for human rights abuses committed by members of the army, regardless of their rank. The policy stated that officers would be held accountable for the behavior of their troops and made a special reference to the crimes of sexual violence. Since then, two senior army 65% officers have been convicted of rape, were girls under and two others have been arrested. the age of 18

“ I was just coming back from the river to fetch water.... Two soldiers came up to me and told me that if I refuse to sleep with them, they will kill me. They beat me and ripped my clothes. One of the soldiers raped me.... My parents spoke to a commander and he said that his soldiers do not rape, and that I am lying.”

January 2009, Lubanga’s trial began in The Hague—the first-ever trial by the ICC—with the first day’s proceedings broadcast across Congo.

Despite advances in crime-scene analysis and DNA matching, arrest rates remain unacceptably low. There is a process for collecting physical evidence from rape victims’ bodies, but this evidence, stored in rape kits, is vastly underutilized by law enforcement agencies. Victims are told their rape kits will be instrumental in arresting and prosecuting their attackers—yet when Human Rights Watch investigated the low rates of arrest, we found that these treasure troves of evidence were often not even processed. US law does not require the testing of every collected rape kit. Public and political pressure brought by Human Rights Watch led to a landmark commitment in Los Angeles to analyze all evidence collected from rape victims. We will ensure that this victory, in turn, increases pressure for similar commitments across the country.
