In the case of Prosecutor v. Mr. Thomas Lubanga Dyilo, Democratic Republic of the Congo, the Pre-Trial Chamber of the ICC will hold a public hearing on January 29 to announce its decision on the charges against Mr. Dyilo. The prosecutor has brought charges against Mr. Dyilo for his “individual criminal responsibility” in committing three war crimes, including the enlistment and conscription of children under the age of fifteen. The Pre-Trial Chamber has several options in response to the charges: confirm the charges, refuse confirmation, adjourn the hearing until more evidence is presented, or adjourn the hearing until the charge is amended.
