A/HRC/30/33 strengthening the training of judges and court officers with respect to ethics, professional conduct and international human rights standards. 23. Between 2008 and 2014, international stakeholders trained more than 25,000 court and prison personnel (civilian and military), of whom approximately 10 per cent were women, in all the country’s provinces on the legal processes regarding crimes under international law, sexual violence and other human rights violatio ns, forensic examination, combating torture and management of cases concerning children in conflict with the law. 24. The lack of coordination between the various international stakeholders and between them and the Government, the absence of any sectoral policy or strategic plan with respect to human rights as well as the lack of a judicial training college have led to a duplication of capacity-building activities for staff of the justice system. Thus, some of them have followed a number of similar training sessions organized by different partners. 25. Between 2008 and 2014, the international community provided support in trials brought for crimes under international law and grave human rights violations by protecting and caring for victims, witnesses and their lawyers and facilitating the travel of judicial personnel. As a result of those trials, 582 members of the Armed Forces of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (FARDC) and 367 members of the national police force 5 were sentenced to between 3 and 20 years in prison. In accordance with the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court, the justice system sentenced commanders and other senior officers of the defence and security forces and members of armed groups, marking an important step in the fight against impunity. Among these emblematic cases were the following: 3.  On 15 December 2014, the military court of South Kivu sentenced Colonel Engangela, also known as “colonel 106”, to rigorous imprisonment for life and 20 years of penal servitude for crimes against humanity, torture, kidnapping and sexual slavery committed against approximately 1,200 victims in South Kivu between 2005 and 2007;  On 9 August 2010, the military tribunal of the garrison of Bunia sentenced Bernard Kakodo, commander of the Forces de résistance patriotiques en Ituri armed group, to life imprisonment for crimes against humanity following mass killings of civilians, rape, slavery and pillage in Bunia (Orientale province) in 2002;  On 4 June 2009, the military tribunal of the garrison of Kisangani sentenced Colonel Thom’s, commander of the Maï-Maï militia group, to life imprisonment for crimes against humanity against approximately 135 women, of whom 8 were minors, in the village of Lieke Lesole, close to Kisangani (Orientale province), in 2007. Capacity-building for the defence and security forces 26. In 2008, the Special Rapporteur on the independence of judges and law yers expressed concern that 86 per cent of human rights violations in the Democratic Republic of the Congo were committed by police or military personnel. 27. In a bid to remedy that situation, UNJHRO assisted the Ministry of Justice and Human Rights, notably in implementing a national judicial framework with respect to detention. Between 2013 and 2014, UNJHRO and the Ministry visited national police detention facilities and prisons throughout the country. The advocacy of UNJHRO following these visits resulted in the release of 1,177 detainees for procedural __________________ 5 GE.15-14279 UNJHRO database, 2011-2014. 9/19
