I only caught a bit of the appeals on reparations proceedings concerning the #Ongwen case just now but there still seems to be significant stuff to pick apart if we look with a disability lens. Makes me wonder what others thoughts are #ICL #ICC #PhD

On 28 February 2024, #ICC judges announced a record #reparations order, of more than €52,000,000 for #victims of the LRA's Dominic #Ongwen. Ongwen appealed that order, and on 7 April 2025, judges will deliver their Appeals Decision.

For #victims "the start of judicial proceedings marks an important opportunity to voice their sufferings & victimisation"
3460 victims from #Ongwen will also participate #Kony - is the 'in absentia' CoC a better expressive opportunity than the Ongwen trial?

#ICC's Victims Participation & #Reparations Section (VPRS) report re: Situation in #Uganda
5623 #victims have so far applied for participation/reparation in #Uganda cases. 4096 in #Ongwen, 1527 in #Kony
3460 Ongwen victims will also participate in Kony proceedings.

My faith in #intLaw is experiencing quite a dip at the moment. This one hits hard because we put a lot of work into impacting the #ICC's jurisprudence on forced marriage in #Ongwen, which was successful. But #AlHassan just went backwards & the fact that it will sit there leaves a bitter taste. #law
In addition to 4096 potential victims from #Ongwen (2038 of whom have expressed interest in also participating in the #Kony proceedings), there are 162 'new' applications for participation from #Ugandan #victims of:
- an attack on Lwala girls school
- Abia IDP camp attack
- age/gender-based crimes
🚨 #ICC Judges reject application from the OPCV to automatically recognise 4096 participating #victims in the #Ongwen case, in the #Kony proceedings
Victims will not have to reapply, but their express consent to be recognised must be obtained & their application will be re-considered

We will also argue that the #forcedMarriage in #Uganda under #Ongwen & Kony was gender persecution against girls & women, drawing on my forthcoming ch on Gender & Forced Marriage in ICL, in OUP published book Gender & ICL, edited by Valerie Oosterveld et al (2022).
#ICC has requested EoIs for amicus curiae briefs in the #Ongwen appeal. I have teamed up w/a group of #women specialising in #SGBV to request an AC on #forcedMarriage. www.icc-cpi.int/Pages/record.aspx
My thread following the #Ongwen sentencing decision. Joint sentence 25yrs imprisonment taking into acct gravity of crimes+mitigating circs of Ongwen's childhood. 61 individuals sentences from 8-20yrs to come in the written judgment. #intlaw #ICC #warCrimes
Chambers out. End #Ongwen Sentence hearing. 25yrs imprisonment. /fin
Chamber acknowledges not every one will be satisfied w/#Ongwen Sentence, that it was a difficult decision.
#Ongwen joint sentence acknowledges his background and potential future reintegration into society. Court shall review sentence after 2/3 served to assess for reduction.
