Indeed, it has been found that the abusive use of drugs (cannabis) in armed conflicts in Eastern DRC is one of the determining factors in the mass crime commissions of sexual violence. Likewise, it is assumed that the avowed objectives of destroying, annihilating, weakening, relocating the families of the victims, as well as the entire societies, have been the basis of the motives of the armed groups and of the other belligerents in order to gain military advantages on their enemies, by creating fear and mass leakage of the inhabitants before the insurgents. The magnitude of the atrocities has been commensurate with the need to conquer the territories in order to control the resources therein and to demand more conditions for the political negotiations. In order to understand this reflection, we have used two methods: on one hand, the empirical method is used to examine different random cases of the commission of sexual violence, thanks to the misuse of drugs, and on the other hand, we use an interdisciplinary approach to better understand this phenomenon, which saddens the population in eastern DRC. As the first pillar of all efforts to prevent sexual violence in armed conflict, we suggested strengthening the management of victims (medical and psychological monitoring, judicial assistance and empowerment of women and girls) and raising awareness of the population. Secondly, the prosecution of all the perpetrators (for detention and use of cannabis drugs as well as for commission of Sexual Violence) and the compensation of victims are considered as the second pillar. It is thus the responsibility of the Congolese Government to ensure the security of all its citizens, especially those in the conflict zones in East part of the DRC.

This was based on the observation that in the DRC, the protection of the Congolese population and the environment against the effects of ionizing radiation is marked by certain shortcomings, despite the mechanisms put in place. From the outset of our research, we assumed that this situation is due to the non-compliance of national legal texts with international nuclear safety and security requirements. Precautions must therefore be taken. Dangers in the use of nuclear energy can result from the mishandling of nuclear and radiological materials, illicit trafficking and their use for criminal purposes. To this end, international nuclear law attaches particular importance to the protection of people and the environment against the dangers of nuclear and radiological materials. This justifies the diversity of the norms and the search for consistency in their revision, the objective being to ensure the best possible protection of the population and the environment. The DRC can greatly benefit from these international standards to strengthen its statutory and institutional framework for the protection of the population and the environment against the dangers of ionizing radiation. Thus, our study examines and questions the Congolese legal system, to find its weaknesses and propose the amendments best suited to the requirements of international law, in view of the contemporary issues at stake in the Democratic
