Kony faces up to 36 counts of war crimes and crimes against humanity in Uganda.

The International Criminal Court has hired a British National to represent Joseph Kony, Uganda’s Lord’s Resistance Army rebel leader.

British lawyer Peter Haynes will represent Joseph Kony during the confirmation of charges proceedings at the Hague Court in October. This follows a request by the prosecutor in November last year to hold a hearing on the alleged charges in Kony’s absence.
