Dec. 3, 2011 – On these days that mark the 2011 General Elections in the Democratic Republic of Congo, we call on all Congolese leaders of political parties, members of political parties, members of the armed forces and the police to demonstrate their respect for human rights, freedom of expression and choices as well as respect for the right of Congolese to live in peace and human security.
We express our continued solidarity for Congolese populations, particularly women, who are aspiring for peace, human security and an end to gender-based sexual violence; we call on all actors to respect as well as apply the principles that underlie the universal values of human rights, dignity and democracy.

We are demanding that the permanent members of the United Nations Security Council and the Congolese government demonstrate their commitments to the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) that recognizes the right of all peoples to self-determination, including the right to “freely determine their political status,” pursue their economic, social and cultural goals, and manage and dispose of their own resources, and including the rights to political participation, including the right to join a political party and the right to vote.

It is time for reason, morality and human dignity to prevail over profit and injustice to enable restoration of peace and the require social or economic justice reinforce state institutions that will guarantee a sovereign state with rule of law that will bring social transformation, human rights and human development in the DRCongo
In peace and solidarity,
