Claim
designated as a terrorist group by the United Nations Peacekeepers
Correction

The LRA’s UN listing was made by a UN Security Council sanctions committee in March 2016, not by UN peacekeepers.

Full reasoning

This wording identifies the wrong UN body. The UN Security Council’s Central African Republic sanctions page says the Lord’s Resistance Army was listed on 7 March 2016 by the Security Council Committee established pursuant to resolution 2127 (2013), under resolution 2262 (2016). A U.S. Treasury press release issued the next day likewise says the U.S. action “complements yesterday's listing ... by the United Nations (UN) under Security Council Resolution (UNSCR) 2262.” In other words, the relevant UN action was a Security Council sanctions listing, not a designation made by “United Nations Peacekeepers.”

Claim
In October 2006, the ICC announced that arrest warrants had been issued for five members of the Lord's Resistance Army for crimes against humanity following a sealed indictment.
Correction

The ICC publicly unsealed the five LRA arrest warrants in October 2005, not October 2006.

Full reasoning

The date in this sentence is off by a full year. The ICC’s own press release says the warrants against five LRA commanders were unsealed on 13 October 2005. The ICC case page for Joseph Kony also states that his warrant of arrest was issued on 8 July 2005 and unsealed on 13 October 2005. So the public ICC announcement was in October 2005, not October 2006.

Claim
Of the five LRA commanders charged by the ICC in 2004, only Kony remained at large at that time.
Correction

The ICC did not charge the five LRA commanders in 2004; the warrants were issued in 2005.

Full reasoning

This sentence appears to confuse the 2004 referral of the Uganda situation to the ICC with the later charging stage. The ICC’s Joseph Kony case page says Kony’s warrant of arrest was issued under seal on 8 July 2005 and unsealed on 13 October 2005. The ICC also has a separate 2004 court record assigning the Situation in Uganda to a Pre-Trial Chamber, showing that 2004 relates to the case referral/procedural opening, not to charges against the five LRA commanders. So saying they were “charged ... in 2004” is incorrect.
