The United Nations is urging Uganda to prosecute a captured field commander of the rebel Lord's Resistance Army.
Ugandan forces captured Caesar Acellam, one of the LRA's top military leaders, in the Central African Republic on Saturday. Since then, multiple Ugandan officials have said Acellam could receive a pardon under the country's Amnesty Act.
Radhika Coomaraswamy, the U.N. special envoy for children and armed conflict, said in a statement late Monday that she hopes "Ugandan authorities would not apply amnesty but instead, bring Acellam to justice."
