ICC orders acompensation of $56 million for victims in Northern Uganda

The legacy of the ICTY Tribunal in the Hague country image

Nearly 50,000 victims of Ugandan militia commander Dominic Ongwen should get a total of over 56 million dollars in compensation, International Criminal Court judges ruled on Wednesday, in a record reparations order.

Judges said Ongwen, a former child-soldier who rose through the ranks to become one of the top commanders of the notorious Lord’s Resistance Army rebels, did not have the resources to pay the compensation himself. Instead they asked the tribunal’s own Trust Fund for Victims to help cover the cost. FRANCE 24’s Clément di Roma reports.
