The conviction of Ntaganda and the order for reparations show that the focus of international justice is shifting from solely punishing perpetrators to actively supporting survivors.<br>By ordering 31.3 $ million in reparations, the ICC highlighted its commitment to helping the victims and not just holding Ntaganda accountable.<br>Yet, like many convicted individuals at the ICC, he was unable to pay reparations himself. This raises the question: how can justice be served if the convicted person has no money?<br>But how does this monumental decision impact the real lives of survivors? What challenges arise when a perpetrator is unable to pay such a sum? These questions are at the centre of Bruno Biazatti\u2019s research.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-unilux-blocks-spacer is-spacer-size-sm\"><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Biazatti\u00b4s paper critically evaluates the reparations order issued in the <em>Ntaganda<\/em>&nbsp;case at the International Criminal Court (ICC), with focus on the two main innovations that this decision introduced. First, the finding that the assessment of the quantum of reparations the convicted person is financially liable to pay should be based exclusively on the extent of the harm suffered by the victims and the costs to repair it, to the exclusion of all other factors. Second, the application of joint and several liability when multiple offenders are liable for the crimes in question and the resulting harm. Bruno argues that, despite its victim-friendly&nbsp;veneer, the approach introduced in <em>Ntaganda<\/em>&nbsp;should not be taken for granted. Besides the fact that multiple important aspects and ramifications of this approach remain unaddressed, those two innovations may have serious implications for the victims, the convicted persons, and the ICC\u2019s reparations process as a whole.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-unilux-blocks-spacer is-spacer-size-sm\"><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-unilux-blocks-heading\"        id=\"challenges-in-delivering-reparations\"\n    >\n<strong>Challenges in delivering reparations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Reaching All Victims<\/strong><br>The atrocities affected thousands of individuals in remote and conflict-ridden areas. Identifying and compensating all eligible victims is a huge task.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Funding Gaps<\/strong><br>The Trust Fund for Victims (TFV), an independent body to support victims when reparations cannot be funded directly by perpetrators, relies on voluntary contributions from states and donors, which may not always cover the need for large-scale reparations programmes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Comprehensive Reparations<\/strong><br>Financial compensation alone is insufficient. Many victims require psychological support, healthcare, and community rehabilitation to recover fully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Security Risks<\/strong><br>Implementing reparations in unstable regions poses significant logistical and safety challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Precedent Setting<\/strong><br>While the principles established in this case are promising, questions remain about how sustainable and consistent these approaches will be in future cases.+<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-unilux-blocks-spacer is-spacer-size-sm\"><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-unilux-blocks-heading\"        id=\"the-future-of-reparations\"\n    >\n<strong>The future of reparations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The principles established in the Ntaganda case have the potential to shape how courts handle reparations for years to come. By prioritising victims and creating mechanisms to ensure reparations are paid, even when perpetrators cannot contribute, the ICC is setting a new standard for international justice. However, continued research and refinement are needed to address questions about funding, sustainability, and implementation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This case represents progress, but it also reminds us that justice is a process &#8211; one that must evolve to meet the needs of those it serves.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n\n<section class=\"section section wp-block-unilux-blocks-headline-text-and-image py-0\">\n    \n<div class=\"wp-block-unilux-blocks-wrapper container xl:max-w-screen-xl\">\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-unilux-blocks-heading\"        id=\"about-bruno-biazatti\"\n    >\nAbout Bruno Biazatti<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-unilux-blocks-wrapper flex flex-wrap lg:-mx-32\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-unilux-blocks-wrapper w-full lg:w-7\/12 lg:order-2 lg:px-32\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-unilux-blocks-image-video-wrapper\">\n    <figure class=\"wp-block-dev4-reusable-blocks-image  object-fit--cover\">\n    \n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-block-image unilux-custom-image-block\"\n                alt=\"\"\n            src=\"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/32\/2024\/12\/Bruno-Biazatti_1-scaled.jpg\"\n                srcset=\"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/32\/2024\/12\/Bruno-Biazatti_1-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/32\/2024\/12\/Bruno-Biazatti_1-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/32\/2024\/12\/Bruno-Biazatti_1-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/32\/2024\/12\/Bruno-Biazatti_1-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/32\/2024\/12\/Bruno-Biazatti_1-1365x2048.jpg 1365w, https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/32\/2024\/12\/Bruno-Biazatti_1-scaled.jpg 1707w\"\n                style=\"object-position: 95.00% 13.00%; font-family: &quot;object-fit: cover; object-position: 95.00% 13.00%;&quot;; aspect-ratio: 3\/2; object-fit: cover; width: 100%;\"\n        loading=\"lazy\"\n\/>    <\/figure><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-unilux-blocks-wrapper w-full lg:w-5\/12 lg:order-1 lg:px-32\">\n<p><br>Bruno de Oliveira Biazatti is a Doctoral Researcher at the Luxembourg Centre for European Law (LCEL).
