According to the November 15, 2012, final report by the Group of Experts on the Democratic Republic of the Congo, “... LTL.                              Col. Eric Badege had become the focal point of M23 in Masisi and commanded joint operations ...” with another military leader.                              Additionally, “a series of coordinated attacks carried out in August [2012] by LTL. Col. Badege ... enabled M23 to destabilize                              a considerable part of Masisi territory.” According to former combatants, LTL Col. Badege ... acted under the orders of Col.                              Makenga when he orchestrated the attacks. As a military commander of M23, Badege is responsible for serious violations involving                              the targeting of children or women in situations of armed conflict. According to the November 2012 Group of Experts report,                              there have been several major incidents of indiscriminate killings of civilians, including women and children. Since May 2012                              Raia Mutomboki, under the command of M23, have killed hundreds of civilians in a series of coordinated attacks. In August,                              Badege carried out joint attacks which involved the indiscriminate killing of civilians. The November Group of Experts report                              states that these attacks were jointly orchestrated by Badege and Colonel Makoma Semivumbi Jacques. According to the Group                              of Experts Report, local leaders from Masisi stated that Badege commanded these Raia Mutomboki attacks on the ground. According                              to a July 28, 2012, Radio Okapi article, “the administrator of Masisi announced this Saturday, July 28th, the defection of                              the commander of the 2nd Battalion of the 410th Regiment FARDC base Nyabiondo, about thirty kilometers northwest of Goma in                              North Kivu. According to him, Colonel Eric Badege and more than a hundred soldiers headed Friday to Rubaya, 80 kilometers                              north of Nabiondo. This information has been confirmed by several sources.” According to a November 23, 2012 BBC article,                              M23 was formed when former members of the CNDP who had been integrated into the FARDC began to protest against bad conditions                              and pay, and lack of full implementation of the March 23, 2009 peace deal between the CNDP and the DRC that led to the CNDP's                              integration into the FARDC. M23 has been engaged in active military operations in order to take control of territory in eastern                              DRC, according to the November 2012 IPIS report. M23 and FARDC fought over control of several towns and villages in eastern                              DRC on July 24 and July 25, 2012; M23 attacked the FARDC in Rumangabo on July 26, 2012; M23 drove FARDC from Kibumba on November                              17, 2012; and M23 took control of Goma on November 20, 2012. According to the November 2012 Group of Experts report, several                              ex-M23 combatants claim that M23 leaders summarily executed dozens of children who attempted to escape after being recruited                              as M23 child soldiers. According to a September 11, 2012 report by Human Rights Watch (HRW), a Rwandan man, 18, who escaped                              after being forcibly recruited in Rwanda told HRW that he witnessed the execution of a 16-year old boy from his M23 unit who                              had tried to flee in June. The boy was captured and beaten to death by M23 fighters in front of the other recruits. An M23                              commander who ordered his killing then allegedly told the other recruits “[h]e wanted to abandon us,” as an explanation for                              why the boy had been killed. The report also states that witnesses claimed that at least 33 new recruits and other M23 fighters                              were summarily executed when they attempted to flee. Some were tied up and shot in front of other recruits as an example of                              the punishment they could receive. One young recruit told HRW, “[w]hen we were with M23, they said [we had a choice] and could                              stay with them or we could die. Lots of people tried to escape. Some were found and then that was immediately their death.”

A July 9, 2012 document signed by M23 leader Sultani Makenga named Runiga as the coordinator of the political wing of M23.                              According to the document, Runiga's appointment was prompted by the need to ensure the visibility of the M23 cause. Runiga                              is named as the“President” of the M23 in postings on the group's website. His leadership role is corroborated by the November                              2012 Group of Experts report, which refers to Runiga as the“leader of the M23”. According to a December 13, 2012 Associated                              Press article, Runiga showed the Associated Press a list of demands that he said will be presented to the Congolese government.                              Included in the demands are the resignation of Kabila and the dissolution of the national assembly. Runiga indicated that                              if given the opportunity, M23 could retake Goma. “And at this time we will not retreat,” Runiga told the Associated Press.                              He also indicated that M23's political branch should resume its control of Goma as a precondition to negotiations. “I think                              our members who are in Kampala represent us. In due time I will be there, too. I am waiting for things to be organized and                              when Kabila will be there, I will go, too,” Runiga said. According to a November 26, 2012 Le Figaro article, Runiga met with                              DRC President Kabila on November 24, 2012 to begin discussions. Separately, in an interview with Le Figaro, Runiga stated,                              “M23 is composed primarily of former FARDC military members who defected to protest the non-respect of the March 23, 2009                              accords.” He added, “M23's soldiers are deserters from the army who left with their arms in hand. Recently, we recovered a                              lot of equipment from a military base in Bunagana. For the moment, this allows us to regain territory each day and to repel                              all the attacks from the FARDC.Our revolution is Congolese, led by the Congolese, for the Congolese people.” According to                              a November 22, 2012 Reuters article, Runiga stated that M23 had the capacity to hang on to Goma after M23's forces were bolstered                              by mutinying Congolese soldiers from the FARDC: “Firstly we have a disciplined army, and also we have the FARDC soldiers who've                              joined us. They're our brothers, they'll be retrained and recycled then we'll work with them.” According to a November 27,                              2012 article published in The Guardian, Runiga indicated that M23 would refuse to obey a call by regional leaders of the International                              Conference of the Great Lakes to leave Goma in order to pave the way for peace talks. Instead, Runiga stated that M23's withdrawal                              from Goma would be the result, not a precondition, of negotiation. According to the 15 November 2012 Final Report of the Group                              of Experts, Runiga led a delegation that travelled to Kampala, Uganda on July 29, 2012 and finalized the M23 movement's 21-point                              agenda ahead of anticipated negotiations at the International Conference on the Great Lakes Region. According to a November                              23, 2012 BBC article, M23 was formed when former members of the CNDP who had been integrated into the FARDC began to protest                              against bad conditions and pay, and lack of full implementation of the March 23, 2009 peace deal between the CNDP and the                              DRC that led to the CNDP's integration into the FARDC. M23 has been engaged in active military operations in order to take                              control of territory in eastern DRC, according to the November 2012 IPIS report. M23 and FARDC fought over control of several                              towns and villages in eastern DRC on July 24 and July 25, 2012; M23 attacked the FARDC in Rumangabo on July 26, 2012; M23                              drove FARDC from Kibumba on November 17, 2012; and M23 took control of Goma on November 20, 2012. According to the November                              2012 Group of Experts report, several ex-M23 combatants claim that M23 leaders summarily executed dozens of children who attempted                              to escape after being recruited as M23 child soldiers. According to a September 11, 2012 report by Human Rights Watch (HRW),                              a Rwandan man, 18, who escaped after being forcibly recruited in Rwanda told HRW that he witnessed the execution of a 16-year                              old boy from his M23 unit who had tried to flee in June. The boy was captured and beaten to death by M23 fighters in front                              of the other recruits. An M23 commander who ordered his killing then allegedly told the other recruits “[h]e wanted to abandon                              us”, as an explanation for why the boy had been killed. The report also states that witnesses claimed that at least 33 new                              recruits and other M23 fighters were summarily executed when they attempted to flee. Some were tied up and shot in front of                              other recruits as an example of the punishment they could receive. One young recruits told HRW, “[w]hen we were with M23,                              they said [we had a choice] and could stay with them or we could die. Lots of people tried to escape. Some were found and                              then that was immediately their death.” Entered the Republic of Rwanda on 16 March 2013, at Gasizi/Rubavu.

According to multiple sources, LTL Col Innocent Zimurinda, in his capacity as one of the commanders of the FARDC 231st Brigade,                              gave orders that resulted in the massacre of over 100 Rwandan refugees, mostly women and children, during an April 2009 military                              operation in the Shalio area. The UNSC DRC Sanctions Committee's Group of Experts reported that LTL Col Innocent Zimurinda                              was witnessed first-hand refusing to release three children from his command in Kalehe, on August 29, 2009. According to multiple                              sources, LTL Col Innocent Zimurinda, prior to the CNDP's integration into FARDC, participated in a November 2008 CNDP operation                              that resulted in the massacre of 89 civilians, including women and children, in the region of Kiwanja. In March 2010, 51 human                              rights groups working in eastern DRC alleged that Zimurinda was responsible for multiple human rights abuses involving the                              murder of numerous civilians, including women and children, between February 2007 and August 2007. LTL Col Innocent Zimurinda                              was accused in the same complaint of responsibility for the rape of a large number of women and girls. According to a May 21,                              2010, statement by the Special Representative of the Secretary-General for Children and Armed Conflict, Innocent Zimurinda                              has been involved in the arbitrary execution of child soldiers, including during operation Kimia II. According to the same                              statement, he denied access by the UN Mission in the DRC (MONUC) to screen troops for minors. According to the UNSC DRC Sanctions                              Committee's Group of Experts, LTL Col Zimurinda holds direct and command responsibility for child recruitment and for maintaining                              children within troops under his command. Integrated in the FARDC in 2009 as a Lieutenant Colonel, brigade commander in FARDC                              Kimia II Ops, based in Ngungu area. In July 2009, Zimurinda was promoted to full Colonel and became FARDC Sector commander                              in Ngungu and subsequently in Kitchanga in FARDC Kimia II and Amani Leo Operations.

The Allied Democratic Forces (“ADF”) was created in 1995 and is located in the mountainous DRC-Uganda border area. According                              to the United Nations Group of Experts on the Democratic Republic of the Congo's (“GOE”) 2013 final report, citing Ugandan                              officials and UN sources, in 2013 the ADF had an estimated strength of 1 200 to 1 500 armed fighters located in north-east                              Beni Territory of North Kivu province, close to the border with Uganda. These same sources estimate ADF's total membership                              — including women and children — to be between 1 600 and 2 500. Due to offensive military operations by the Congolese Armed                              Forces (FARDC) and the UN Organization Stabilization Mission in the DRC (MONUSCO) conducted in 2013 and 2014, ADF has dispersed                              its fighters to numerous smaller bases, and moved women and children to areas west of Beni, and along the Ituri-North Kivu                              border. The ADF's military commander is Hood Lukwago and its supreme leader is the sanctioned individual Jamil Mukulu.                           

The ADF has committed serious violations of international law and UNSCR 2078 (2012), including as detailed below.

The ADF has recruited and used child soldiers in violation of applicable international law (UNSCR paragraph 4 (d))

The GOE's 2013 final report stated that the GOE interviewed three former ADF fighters who had escaped during 2013 and who                              described how ADF recruiters in Uganda lure people to the DRC with false promises of employment (for adults) and free education                              (for children) and then force them to join the ADF. Also according to the GOE's report, former ADF fighters told the GOE that                              the ADF's training groups typically include adult men and boys and two boys who escaped from the ADF in 2013 told the GOE                              that they had received military training from the ADF. The GOE report also includes an account of ADF's training by a “former                              ADF child soldier”.                           

According to the GOE's 2012 final report, the ADF recruits include children, as exemplified by the case of an ADF recruiter                              who was captured by Ugandan authorities in Kasese with six young boys on his way to the DRC in July 2012.                           

A specific example of the ADF's recruitment and use of children is seen in a 6 January 2009 letter from the former Africa                              Director for Human Rights Watch, Georgette Gagnon, to Uganda's former Minister of Justice, Kiddhu Makubuyu, stating that a                              boy named Bushobozi Irumba was abducted at 9 years of age by the ADF in 2000. He was required to provide transport and other                              services to ADF fighters.                           

In addition, “The Africa Report” cited allegations that the ADF is allegedly recruiting children as young as 10 years of age                              as child soldiers and cited a Uganda People's Defence Force (UPDF) spokesperson as stating that the UPDF rescued 30 children                              from a training camp on Buvuma Island in Lake Victoria.                           

The ADF has also committed numerous violations of international human rights and international humanitarian law against women                              and children, including killing, maiming, and sexual violence (UNSCR paragraph 4 (e)).                           

According to the GOE 2013 final report, in 2013 the ADF attacked numerous villages, which prompted more than 66 000 people                              to flee into Uganda. These attacks depopulated a large area, which ADF has since controlled by abducting or killing people                              who return to their villages. Between July and September 2013, ADF decapitated at least five people in the Kamango area, shot                              several others, and kidnapped dozens more. These actions terrorized the local population and deterred people from returning                              home.                           

The Global Horizontal Note, a monitoring and reporting mechanism of grave violations against children in situations of armed                              conflict, reported to the Security Council's Working Group on Children and Armed Conflict (CAAC) that during the October to                              December 2013 reporting period, ADF was responsible for 14 of the 18 child casualties documented, including in an incident                              on 11 December 2013, in Beni territory, North Kivu, when ADF attacked the village of Musuku, killing 23 people, including                              11 children (three girls and eight boys), aged 2 months to 17 years. All victims had all been severely mutilated with machetes,                              including two children who survived the attack.                           

The March 2014 Report of the Secretary-General on Conflict Related Sexual Violence identifies the “Allied Democratic Forces                              — National Army for the Liberation of Uganda” on its list of “Parties credibly suspected of committing or being responsible                              for rape or other forms of sexual violence in situations of armed conflict.”                           

The ADF has also participated in attacks against MONUSCO peacekeepers (UNSCR paragraph 4 (i)).

Finally, the United Nations Organization Stabilization Mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (MONUSCO) reported                              that ADF has conducted at least two attacks on MONUSCO peacekeepers. The first, on 14 July 2013, was an attack on a MONUSCO                              patrol on the road between Mbau and Kamango. This attack is detailed in the 2013 GOE final report. The second attack occurred                              on March 3, 2014. A MONUSCO vehicle was attacked with grenades ten kilometers from the Mavivi airport in Beni, resulting in                              injuries to five peacekeepers.

The FDLR is one of the largest foreign armed groups operating in the territory of the DRC. The group was formed in 2000, and                              has committed serious violations of international law involving the targeting of women and children in armed conflict, including                              killing and maiming, sexual violence, and forced displacement. According to a 2010 report from Amnesty International, the                              FDLR were responsible for the killings of ninety-six civilians in Busurungi, Walikale territory. Some of the victims were                              burned alive in their homes. According to the same source, in June 2010, an NGO medical centre reported around sixty cases                              a month of girls and women who had been raped in the southern Lubero territory, North-Kivu by armed groups including the FDLR.                              According to a December 20, 2010 report from Human Rights Watch (HRW), there has been documented evidence of the FDLR actively                              conducting child recruitment. HRW identified at least 83 Congolese children under the age of 18, some as young as 14, who                              had been forcibly recruited by the FDLR. In January 2012, HRW reported that FLDR combatants attacked numerous villages in                              the Masisi territory, killing six civilians, raping two women, and abducting at least 48 people. According to a June 2012                              report from HRW, in May 2012 FDLR fighters attacked civilians in Kamananga and Lumenje, in South Kivu province, as well as                              in Chambucha, Walikale territory, and villages in the Ufumandu area of Masisi territory, North Kivu province. In these attacks,                              FDLR fighters with machetes and knives hacked to death dozens of civilians, including numerous children. According to the                              June 2012 Group of Experts Report, the FDLR attacked several villages in South Kivu from December 31, 2011 to January 4, 2012.                              A United Nations investigation confirmed that at least 33 persons, including 9 children and 6 women, had been killed, either                              burned alive, decapitated or shot during the attack. In addition, one woman and one girl had been raped. The June 2012 Group                              of Experts Report also states that a United Nations investigation confirmed that the FDLR massacred at least 14 civilians,                              including 5 women and 5 children in South Kivu in May 2012. According to the November 2012 Group of Experts report, the UN                              documented at least 106 incidents of sexual violence committed by the FDLR between December 2011 and September 2012. The November                              2012 Group of Experts report notes that, according to a UN investigation, the FDLR raped seven women in the night of 10 March                              2012, including a minor, in Kalinganya, Kabare territory. The FDLR attacked the village again on 10 April 2012 and raped three                              of the women for the second time. The November 2012 Group of Experts report also reports 11 killings by the FDLR in Bushibwambombo,                              Kalehe on 6 April 2012, and FDLR involvement in 19 further killings in Masisi territory, including five minors and six women,                              in May. The Mouvement Du 23 Mars (M23) is an armed group operating in the DRC that has been the recipient of arms and related                              materiel, including advice, training, and assistance related to military activities. Several eyewitness testimonies state                              that M23 receives general military supplies from the Rwandan Defense Forces (RDF) in the form of weapons and ammunition in                              addition to materiel support for combat operations. M23 has been complicit in and responsible for committing serious violations                              of international law involving the targeting of women and children in situations of armed conflict in the DRC including killing                              and maiming, sexual violence, abduction, and forced displacement. According to numerous reports, investigations, and testimonies                              from eyewitnesses, M23 has been responsible for carrying out mass killings of civilians, as well as raping women and children                              throughout various regions of the DRC. Several reports indicate that M23 fighters have carried out 46 rapes against women                              and girls, the youngest of which was 8 years old. In addition to reports of sexual violence, M23 has also carried out extensive                              forced recruitment campaigns of children into the ranks of the group. It is estimated that M23 has carried out the forced                              recruitment of 146 young men and boys in the Rutshuru territory alone in eastern DRC since July 2012. Some of the victims                              have been as young as 15 years old. The atrocities committed by M23 against the civilian population of the DRC, as well as                              M23's forced recruitment campaign, and being the recipient of arms and military assistance has dramatically contributed to                              instability and conflict within the region and in some instances, violated international law.

The Mouvement Du 23 Mars (M23) is an armed group operating in the DRC that has been the recipient of arms and related materiel,                              including advice, training, and assistance related to military activities. Several eyewitness testimonies state that M23 receives                              general military supplies from the Rwandan Defense Forces (RDF) in the form of weapons and ammunition in addition to materiel                              support for combat operations. M23 has been complicit in and responsible for committing serious violations of international                              law involving the targeting of women and children in situations of armed conflict in the DRC including killing and maiming,                              sexual violence, abduction, and forced displacement. According to numerous reports, investigations, and testimonies from eyewitnesses,                              M23 has been responsible for carrying out mass killings of civilians, as well as raping women and children throughout various                              regions of the DRC. Several reports indicate that M23 fighters have carried out 46 rapes against women and girls, the youngest                              of which was 8 years old. In addition to reports of sexual violence, M23 has also carried out extensive forced recruitment                              campaigns of children into the ranks of the group. It is estimated that M23 has carried out the forced recruitment of 146                              young men and boys in the Rutshuru territory alone in eastern DRC since July 2012. Some of the victims have been as young                              as 15 years old. The atrocities committed by M23 against the civilian population of the DRC, as well as M23's forced recruitment                              campaign, and being the recipient of arms and military assistance has dramatically contributed to instability and conflict                              within the region and in some instances, violated international law.
