They need to follow through and finish what they have started. AND IN 2005 HE BECAME THE FIRST MAN INDICTED BY THE ICC. DOES INVISIBLE CHILDREN ENDORSE A POLITICAL PARTY OR CANDIDATE?

We have seen that everyone, regardless of political 26+ 30,000+ 440,000 beliefs, can agree that Joseph Kony needs to be arrested. YEARS OF VIOLENCE CHILDREN ABDUCTED PEOPLE CURRENTLY WHAT HAPPENS IF KONY IS CAPTURED OR KILLED? DISPLACED ACROSS This campaign is advocating for the arrest of Joseph Kony so that he 3 COUNTRIES can be tried for his crimes in an international court. Kony’s capture would not only end his ongoing atrocities, but it would also set a strong precedent for the future of international criminal justice. However, if Kony is killed during the ongoing op- eration, it would still be a victory for the hundreds of thousands of innocent people living in fear. That said, it would not necessarily result in the immediate end of the LRA. Once Joseph Kony and his top commanders are removed from the battlefield, and the LRA is completely disarmed, reuniting families and rehabilitation will be the first priority. Invisible Children has constructed the first and only child rehabilitation center in the LRA affected region in DR Congo. The center is currently treating the most traumatized children. IS INVISIBLE CHILDREN ENCOURAGING ILLEGAL ACTIVITY IN THE POSTING OF KONY 2012 CAMPAIGN MATERIALS? No. Don’t do anything illegal. Don’t get arrested. Research your city’s rules about posting campaign materials and use common sense. .
