arrested?

I realize that I'm splitting hairs to a fairly absurd degree, but is it technically correct to say that Lubanga was arrested by the ICC? It seems to me that he was arrested by the Congolese authorities and then became the first person taken into custody by the ICC (unless being taken into custody constitutes being re-arrested, I suppose). --DMG413 19:47, 18 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

He's the first person arrested for whom the ICC had issued an arrest warrant. — ₀₉₁₈^BRIAN • 2006-03-18 19:53

bio details

Can the basic biographical details (date and place of birth, education, etc.,) be added?Fsotrain09 23:55, 18 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Good luck finding it. — ₀₉₁₈^BRIAN • 2006-03-19 00:19

I found date and place of birth in his French language arrest warrant and made footnotes. There is also some details of his family as well on the warrant. - Banyan Tree 01:29, 21 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Team Forbidden

How on Earth does "Team Forbidden" come into this? 64.28.246.171 01:00, 21 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

If you look at the page history, the vandalism you saw was up for less than a minute so it was a bit of bad luck that you wandered by just at that time. - Banyan Tree 01:29, 21 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I was just surprised that a war criminal was into online gaming. Thanks for humoring a newbie. 64.28.246.171 01:13, 23 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Main page news

Can someone with the relevant power please amend the main page news section that links to this article? Whilst conscripting children soldiers is a violation of their human rights, what Dyilo was convicted of was war crimes. The ICC doesn't have jurisdiction over anything to do with human rights. This is a very important error and should be rectified ASAP. Pascal (talk) 00:43, 15 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Conscripting or using child soldiers is a war crime under the Rome Statute. All the best: Rich Farmbrough 20:21, 20 May 2024 (UTC).[reply]

Reparations

The ICC ordered reparations against Lubanga. Would be good to include something about this, and how it turned out. All the best: Rich Farmbrough 20:24, 20 May 2024 (UTC).[reply]
