The chief prosecutor for the International Criminal Court has said it's bad that enough has not been done to arrest Joseph Kony, yet if arrested there will be peace tomorrow.
He renewed his call for the arrest of fugitives from Uganda and Sudan wanted for war crimes and crimes against humanity.
Quoted by the Institute of War and Peace Reporting, IWPR, Mr Luis Moreno-Ocampo lamented that it was sad that Kony was still free
"It is very bad [that] we are not doing enough to arrest Kony," Mr Moreno-Ocampo said during a conference in Chicago last weekend.
He said the UN troops deployed in the eastern regions of the DRC be provided with Special Forces that could move against Kony and arrest him. He reportedly said it was a mistake to halt operations to capture Kony when peace talks began.
