Armed Conflict in the Central African Republic

The Human Rights Clinic supports Centrafrique civil society in their efforts to investigate and seek accountability for war crimes in the country, to meet humanitarian needs, and to promote reconciliation. In December 2012, a brutal civil war erupted in the country, with frequent war crimes and widespread displacement of the civilian population. There is now a U.N. peacekeeping mission, although humanitarian conditions remain poor for many residents, there is widespread impunity for war crimes, and outbreaks of violence.
