On 3 March 2015, the Appeals Chamber of the International Criminal Court (ICC) will issue its ruling regarding reparations in the case against Thomas Lubanga Dyilo, found guilty of the war crimes of enlisting and conscripting children under the age of 15 years and using them to participate actively in hostilities. This decision will definitively determine the scope and procedures for reparations, providing long-awaited relief to victims of crimes committed by Lubanga in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). Our organisations urge the ICC Appeals Chamber to confirm comprehensive principles on reparations in order to provide effective redress to victims, and call for a non-discriminatory and inclusive approach to their implementation.

Hoy, 27 de Febrero de 2015, la Sala de Apelaciones de la Corte Penal Internacional (CPI) dictó sentencia confirmando, por mayoría, la decisión de la Segunda Sala de Primera Instancia de 18 de diciembre 2012 absolviendo a Mathieu Ngudjolo Chui de los cargos de crímenes de lesa humanidad y crímenes de guerra. Los jueces Ekaterina Trendafilova y Cuno Tarfusser adoptaron la opinión disidente conjunta y decidieron que la Sala de Apelaciones debería haber modificado o invertido la decisión de la Sala de Primera Instancia y ordenó celebrar un nuevo juicio ante una Sala diferente.
