- Abstract
The Democratic Republic of Congo is bearing a heavy burden of decades of war. This situation coincides with a rapidly growing urbanization with its subsequent sets of problems: e.g. insecurity and urban violence. To effectively overcome this situation, transitional justice and reparation for the victims remain the only possible solution. The authors discuss the importance of erecting a forensic center in the Democratic Republic of Congo and highlight the key role it plays in justice administration using the short experience from the young forensic center at the Official University of Bukavu. Forensic medicine is crucial in justice administration. Efforts towards funding and scholarships could help improve the work of the young forensic center at the Official University of Bukavu. This calls for advocacy and the funding of the center.
