Lord’s Resistance Army: ICC awards reparations to victims of commander Dominic Ongwen – what happens next

The court’s order, the first in the Ugandan situation, awards collective community-based symbolic payment for each victim. International criminal law scholars Tonny Raymond Kirabira and Miracle Chinwenmeri Uche answer questions about the ruling."
