dc.description.abstractWhen the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court was adopted on 17 July 1998 and came to effect on 2 July 2002, it established a platform for bringing justice to victims of international crimes. The Rome Statute brought a distinct framework which provided protection and participation of victims including the award of reparations to remedy the harm they have suffered. Article 75(1) and (2) spell out the mandate entrusted to the International Criminal Court (ICC or the Court) to advance principles regarding the granting of reparations by the Court. The article further gives power to the Court to award orders of reparations against convicted persons. The mandate of the Court to award reparations is an important aspect especially for African victims against whom the international crimes of genocide; war crimes; crimes against humanity and the crime of aggression as provided for in the Rome Statute; have been perpetrated. However, the implementation of the mandate of reparations for victims seems to be encountering a number of challenges that include the identification of the victims in different circumstances and other substantive factors. This research seeks to establish how well the task of reparations has been operationalised in practice by the Court by examining the five cases that the Court has so far awarded reparations in.
