Africa-Press<\/a> – Uganda<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>The International Criminal Court (ICC) has called for an inquiry into the financial viability of jailed rebel commander of the Lord\u2019s Resistance Army Dominic Ongwen to establish whether he has any properties that can be sold to compensate the 4,095 victims of the insurgency.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor the foregoing reasons, the chamber (court) hereby, instructs the registrar to review Ongwen\u2019s current financial situation and report back to the chamber by September 6, 2021,\u201d the three justices of the ICC, who presided over Ongwen\u2019s case, wrote.<\/p>\n

The justices include Bertram Schmitt, Peter Kovacs, and Raul C Pangalangan.On Thursday last week, the ICC handed Ongwen 25 years imprisonment for his involvement in the Kony insurgency that left at least 100,000 people dead and more than two million displaced.<\/p>\n

It is the practice of the ICC that at the end of a trial, the Trial Chamber (court), may order a convicted person to pay compensation to the victims for the crimes of which he\/she was found guilty.<\/p>\n

Alternatively, state parties to the Rome Statute have established a Trust Fund for victims of crimes within the jurisdiction of the ICC and for their families to raise the funds if the convict does not have sufficient resources to do so.<\/p>\n

The court also stated that considering that the crimes committed by Ongwen happened more than 15 years ago, the compensation should be efficient and expeditious. The court has also ordered the office of the prosecutor and relevant authorities of Uganda to make submissions on any of the issues by September 6.<\/p>\n
