ICJ Ruling in Ahmadou Sadio Diallo Case (Republic of Guinea v. Democratic Republic of the Congo)

The International Court of Justice has issued its decision in the case of Ahmadou Sadio Diallo (Republic of Guinea v. Democratic Republic of the Congo).  The Court found that in carrying out the arrest, detention and expulsion of Mr. Diallo in 1995-1996, the DRC violated his fundamental rights, but that it did not violate his direct rights as “associé” in the companies Africom-Zaire and Africontainers-Zaire.  Click here to read a seven-page press release from the ICJ with more details about the case and the decision.
