Three Legal Issues on First Reading of Resolution 2773 (2025) on Eastern DRC – EJIL: Talk! – Go Health Pro

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).

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.
