Today, 7 August 2012, Trial Chamber I of the International Criminal Court (ICC) decided, for the first time in proceedings at the ICC, on the principles that are to be applied to reparations for victims in the context of the case against Thomas Lubanga Dyilo, who was found guilty, on 14 March 2012, of the war crimes of enlisting and conscripting children under the age of 15 years and using them to participate actively in hostilities. He was sentenced on 10 July 2012 to a total of 14 years of imprisonment.

Reparations will then be implemented through the resources of the Trust Fund for Victims that are available for this purpose.
