Published today at 2:01 pm (Paris)3 min readLire en français O n October 6, the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) will mark 30 years since the Lemera massacre in South Kivu. On that day in 1996, Lemera Hospital was attacked by elements of the Alliance of Democratic Forces for the Liberation of Congo (AFDL), backed by Rwanda and Uganda. At least 37 people, among them patients and members of the medical staff, were killed.
卢埃拉并不是孤立的事件。它是《联合国人权事务高级代表办事处》（OHCHR）2010年发布的《调查报告》中记录的617起事件之一，该报告记录了1993年至2003年间在刚果民主共和国发生的严重侵犯人权和国际人道法的事件。该报告指出，某些行为在特定情况下及根据收集到的证据，可能构成战犯罪、反人类罪，甚至可能构成种族灭绝罪。
Lemera was not an isolated episode. It is one of the 617 incidents recorded in the Mapping Report of the United Nations Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR), published in 2010, documenting the gravest violations of human rights and international humanitarian law committed in the DRC between 1993 and 2003. That report notes that certain acts could, depending on the circumstances and the evidence gathered, amount to war crimes, crimes against humanity, or even acts constituting genocide.
卢埃拉象征性地标志着第一次刚果战争的开始，以及一个持续至今的暴力周期的开启，至今仍在摧毁该国东部地区。数百万刚果人丧生，数百万更多人流离失所，无数妇女和女孩遭受性暴力。然而，迄今为止，大多数最严重的犯罪仍未被追诉。
Lemera symbolically marks the beginning of the First Congo War and the opening of a cycle of violence that, thirty years on, continues to devastate the eastern part of the country. Millions of Congolese have lost their lives, millions more have been displaced, and countless women and girls have endured sexual violence. And yet the overwhelming majority of the most serious crimes have still not been brought to trial.
有罪不罚不仅是对受害者的司法不公。它破坏了对机构的信任，加深了创伤，并使暴力更有可能再次发生。当那些对国际罪行负有责任的人逃脱任何真正的制裁，或保留有影响力的职位时，向潜在的肇事者发出的信息是毁灭性的：最严重的罪行可以不受任何后果的影响。昨天未受惩罚的暴行使今天成为可能。
Impunity is not only a denial of justice to the victims. It destroys trust in institutions, deepens trauma, and makes the recurrence of violence more likely. When those responsible for international crimes escape any real sanction, or retain positions of influence, the message sent to would-be perpetrators is devastating: the worst crimes can go without consequence. Yesterday's unpunished atrocities help make today's possible.
即使是现在，刚果民主共和国东部北基伍和南基伍的大部分地区仍然被3月23日运动（M23）占领。鉴于卢旺达军队对M23运动的决定性影响和直接控制，这实际上相当于卢旺达占领刚果东部。在这种背景下，过去和现在的犯罪行为不受惩罚会导致恐惧、不信任和暴力的重演。
Even now, a significant part of North and South Kivu in the eastern DRC remains occupied by the March 23 Movement (M23). Given the decisive influence and direct control that the Rwandan army exercises over the M23, this amounts, in practice, to an occupation of eastern Congo by Rwanda. In this context, impunity for past and present crimes sustains fear, mistrust, and the repetition of violence. ****
