Mr. Speaker, many reports deal with the greater systemic problem of impunity in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
In most of the cases that go before the courts, the people who have been arrested unfortunately go unpunished. If we look at the trial process, some of these criminals are unfortunately not brought to justice and are not punished.
I would like to read a finding from the Humans Rights Watch report, which states:
Widespread sexual violence in eastern Congo will not end until the perpetrators, including leaders bearing command responsibility, are brought to justice.
It goes on to say that a new judicial mechanism is needed in the Democratic Republic of Congo to end the impunity.
How does my hon. colleague think that Canada can play a meaningful role with respect to this important change that must be made in the Democratic Republic of Congo?
