Thousands of #CAR victims are still waiting for justice, and the court trying their cases is running out of money.
The #ICC closed its CAR investigations in 2022. National courts lack the resources and independence to take over. Without funding, the Special Criminal Court could shut by 2028. @IntlCrimCourt
