Janet H Anderson is one of JusticeInfo's correspondents in The Hague. As a freelance journalist she's been covering international justice - Rwanda, The Hague, Sierra Leone, Uganda - for several decades.
Janet trains and supports locally-based journalists in covering atrocity crimes trials, and has authored several manuals guiding journalists and monitors in their work. She's also the vice president of the Association of Journalists at the ICC. Together with JusticeInfo colleague Stephanie van den Berg, she co-hosts Asymmetrical Haircuts: a podcast offering a sideways look at international justice, interviewing mainly female experts in their fields.
As recently as August this year, during the confirmation of charges hearings before three judges, the prosecution was arguing that Mokom coordinated attacks by anti-Balaka forces in Bangui and Bossangoa against the Muslim population in 2003 and 2004.
In the other trial of anti-Balaka officials Alfred Yekatom and Patrice-Edouard Ngaïssona at the ICC, there was a postponement at the request of the prosecution before the confirmation of charges could begin in 2019"due to witness protection issues". Like in that trial, investigations in the Central African Republic are unlikely to have provided the prosecution with much in the way of documentary or forensic or intercepted evidence, she suggests.
