This submission, authored by the Victims’ Rights Working Group (VRWG), facilitated by REDRESS, makes several recommendations to the International Criminal Court (ICC), the ICC Trust Fund for Victims, and to the States Parties of the Court, in order to establish a more coherent and holistic approach to the protection and realisation of victims’ rights. In particular, the VRWG suggests a revision of the ICC’s 2012 Victim Strategy, the creation of a separate legal aid system for victims, and the clarification of the procedures that facilitate effective implementation of the Court’s reparation system.
Recommendations to the 16th Session of the Assembly of State Parties of the International Criminal Court
