Vetting Mechanisms for the Army in the Democratic Republic of Congo

On behalf of Human Rights Watch, OTJR conducted research into appropriate mechanisms for vetting members of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) army for possible involvement in serious human rights abuses. The research explored vetting mechanisms used around the world and analysed their relevance for the specific Congolese context.

The following team, overseen by Naseem Badiey, is responsible for this analysis: Stephanie Brockerhoff, Gustavo de Carvalho, Quincy Diep, Rid Dasgupta, Teddy Harrison, Rosara Joseph, Josiah Kaplan, Yvonne Malan, Chelsea Payne and Maria Varaki
