They even commited atrocities such as torture and rape to the Congolese people. Also, people in the army could have stood up to stop it, however no one did.

This evidence shows that the majority of the murders were the doing of the force publique. The force publique was known as brutal and cruel, so this evidence is believably accurate. Many people saw the force publique as the good guys doing the right thing, which left them unexpecting.

This evidence shows that the force publique is guilty because It shows that anyone could have stood up and brought light to the crime, but nobody did. Even if you weren't involved with the crimes, not standing up is enough of a crime itself. If more people stood up, Rebelion would form against the force publique, and so many people would have been saved. However, this did not happen, leaving the force publique, and everyone that didn't stand up to blame.

This evidence proves the force publique guilty because it shows the collection of the atrocities they committed on the usual. These crimes are already horrible as is, but to do them daily? This shows that the force publique was cruel, and clearly guilty. The fact that many people looked upon the force publique as problem solving heros is quite disgusting. No hero would commit such an atrocity, proving that the force publique is clearly responsible.
