Kampala — An official of the International Criminal Court has promised victims of Uganda 's rebel Lord's Resistance Army that the court will provide reparations that were promised after the conviction of a top LRA leader. However, the Tribunal Trust Fund does not have enough money to make the payments, and now some victims worry other world conflicts are drawing down donor funds.
Giler's commitment comes despite Ongwen's appeal of his conviction. Giler said while the appeal is still pending, the ICC will continue efforts to raise funds to pay the reparations and comply with the court order. He also indicated not all victims would receive payments at the same time. Bishop Onono said the promised $795 per person allocation for the 50,000 victims is too little, yet the ICC has no money.
The community remains hopeful that the communal reparation will be used to build schools and health facilities and improve roads.
