    Name of accused
    Jean-Pierre Bemba Gombo
    Charges
    (1) Two counts of crimes against humanity namely murder and rape; and (2) Three counts of war crimes: murder, rape and pillaging
    Trial chamber verdict
    On 21 March 2016, the Trial Chamber convicted Mr Bemba for the crimes against humanity of murder and rape and the war crimes of murder, rape and pillaging committed by troops of the Mouvement de libération du Congo (“MLC”) in the Central African Republic from on or about 26 October 2002 to 15 March 2003. It found that Mr Bemba, was criminally responsible for these crimes under article 28(a) of the Statute as a result of effectively acting as a military commander and having effective control over the MLC troops.
    sentencing
    On 21 June 2016, Bemba was sentenced to 18 years of imprisonment by the Trial Chamber III. Following Mr. Bemba’s successful appeal against the decision of the Trial Chamber III, the Appeal’s Chamber dismissed Mr Bemba’s appeal against this sentence as moot.
    Appeals chamber verdict
    Mr Bemba filed an appeal against both the judgment and the sentence against him on 4 April 2016 and the appeals hearing took place from 9 to 11 January 2018. On 8 June 2018, the Appeals Chamber, by majority, concluded, that the trial of Bemba was not within the scope of the case. In a summary of its decision, the Appeals Chamber stated that: “the Trial Chamber’s conclusion that Mr Bemba failed to take all necessary and reasonable measures in response to MLC crimes in the CAR, was materially affected by errors and that Mr Bemba cannot be held criminally liable under article 28 for the crimes committed by MLC troops during the CAR operation.” The Chamber also noted in its judgment that “The Pre-Trial Chamber did not enter findings that there were substantial grounds to believe that specific acts of murder, rape and pillaging had been committed, but rather “relied on” or “drew attention, in particular” to certain events and evidence to support its overall conclusions.” Accordingly, the Chamber acquitted Jean-Pierre Bemba Gombo from the charges of war crimes and crimes against humanity.
