The Prosecutions Support Cells is a programme of the United Nations Organization Stabilization Mission in the Democratic Republic of Congo (MONUSCO), aimed at improving the capacity of the military judicial authorities to investigate and prosecute the commission of war crimes, crimes against humanity and acts of sexual violence perpetrated in the eastern provinces of the country. Notwithstanding the challenges faced by the pscs and, subject to a number of adjustments and improvements, this model of assistance in the fight against impunity for international and other serious crimes (including transnational crimes) could be replicated in similar post-conflict contexts where United Nations peace operations are mandated to support efforts to achieve peace, stability and security.

The Impact

The research examines the impact of strategic leadership in post-conflict states. This was achieved by comparing different leadership styles with the performance of the post-conflict state to identify which leadership style fits best with specific performance indicators in The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). The study explores the qualitative methodology to assess the impact of strategic leadership in post-conflict states through an explanatory view using an interpretive approach, participant contributions, direct observations, documents, and interviews. Data were analyzed using NVivo data analysis software. The research discovered leadership deficiency at all levels of society. The leadership lacks some essential characteristics to guarantee the well-being of the people. The study also observed an inadequate commitment to support the vision. Also, the mismanagement of country natural resources often causes insecurity and triggers the creation of many armed groups to exploit the resources illegally. The study, therefore, recommended strong committed leadership, the political will, and stable state institutions. One needs a committed leadership to set the vision which can make a change in people's lives, and we can gain the milestones and eventually achieve the vision with the support of the political will and stable state institutions. The study contributes to knowledge by developing a much more user-friendly formula that summarizes the strategic, leadership needed in post-conflict states.

Raoul Peck

At becoming worldly known, in 2016, thanks to the success of his documentary I Am Not Your Negro, the Haitian Raoul Peck already possessed an extensive career as a filmmaker, with a first fiction film, Haitian Corner, released in 1987. The movie tells the story of na haitian poet, immigrant, who lives in Brooklyn, New York, tormented by the ghosts of torture suffered in Haiti in the Duvalier era. Himself marked by the sign of displacement – Peck lived in Haiti, in the Democratic Republic of Congo, in Germany, in the United States and France – the filmmaker starts with Haitian Corner a long list of characters displaced or on transit that would thematically shape many of your works. This article intends to revise the image of the refugee/immigrant in this inaugural piece by Peck, with enfasis on the approach of the director to subjects of memory and the trauma caused in the sphere of asylum.
