The discovery by the United Nations Organization Mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (MONUC) of three mass graves in North Kivu at the end of 2005 was a painful reminder that serious human rights violations committed in the past in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) remained largely unpunished and largely uninvestigated. After numerous consultations within the United Nations, the initial idea of reactivating the 1997-1998 Secretary-General’s Investigative Team was discarded in favor of a broader project. Consultations between the Department of Peacekeeping Operations of the Secretariat, MONUC, the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR), the Department of Political Affairs, the Office of Legal Affairs and the Office of the Special Adviser on the Prevention of Genocide of the Secretariat have resulted in an agreement to provide the Congolese authorities with the necessary tools to begin the fight against impunity.
