Abstract: 

CAR has experienced several periods of armed conflict since ratifying the Rome Statute in 2001. The ICC prosecutor opened investigations in May 2007 that focused on war crimes and crimes against humanity allegedly committed within the country from 2002-03.[1] The main case from this investigation was against the former rebel commander and later Congolese Vice President, Jean Pierre Bemba.
