| Summary/Abstract |
Uganda's northern region of Gulu, Kitgum, and Pader have been ravaged by a conflict between the rebel Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) and the government of Uganda. The decades of war have been some of the worst violence committed against children and adolescents in the world. The LRA professes to fight a spritual war on behalf of the minority Acholi people, but has been responsible for countless attrocities committed against civilians in northern Uganda, southern Sudan, and the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), including the abduction of thousands of children and adolescents to serve as child soldiers, porters, cooks, and sex slaves.

Today, Japan's global profile and international influence is diminishing even further.
