In a previous post, written before Donald Trump’s inauguration as President of the United States, I wrote about the various measures – particularly those targeting America’s allies – that he threatened to implement, and whether those measures would be compatible with the principle of non-intervention under customary international law.

Introduction

In this post, I explore three legal issues pertaining to Resolution 2773 (2025), adopted by the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) on 21 February 2025 in relation to the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). This resolution addresses the ongoing offensive of the armed group M23 in the DRC, which started in January 2025 and is characterised by credible reports of atrocities against civilians and attacks against peacekeepers. First, I analyse the legal value of this resolution and its capacity to provide binding rules. Second, I question which conclusions on the involvement of Rwanda as an occupying power in the DRC can be drawn from this resolution. Finally, I offer some critical views on the frequent mention of attacks against peacekeepers in the resolution.
