The International Court of Justice is reopening a 14-year-old case in which it ordered Uganda to pay the Democratic Republic of Congo $10 billion, after repeated pleas by Kampala for a review of the award.
The ICJ, which sits at Peace Place in The Hague, in the Netherlands, has fixed the first round of the public hearing from February 18 to 20. A second round is slated for March 21 to 22.
