U.S. actress Angelina Jolie attended the International Criminal Court to read the judgment of the trial of former Congolese rebel leader Thomas Lubanga, who was convicted of recruiting between 2002 and 2003 child soldiers in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

The judgment of the ICC is a very important moment for the Court, the Democratic Republic of Congo and for Justice "Said the actress through a statement released by the office of the prosecutor of the court. "It is the third time the actress attends a session of this process: the first in May 2009 and the second in August 2011, when the trial was ready for judgment."

Furthermore, actress-very committed to the rights of children, especially in Africa, visited on another occasion before 2009 the headquarters of the ICC, but then did not attend any hearing because the court had not yet begun their trials.

Following today's guilty plea, the ICC will hold another hearing later to determine the penalty, but the date of the conclusion of that hearing has not yet been set.
