ABSTRACT
The deplorable condition in which Victims of International Crimes are faced with has been a major concern to the ICC. Hence, in its preamble the Rome Statute of the ICC provides these, “Mindful that during this century millions of children, Women and men have been victims of unimaginable atrocities that deeply shock the conscience of humanity”. The ICC in its determined effort to put an end to the impurity committed by the perpetrators of these crimes has made available in its statute provisions for the crimes within its jurisdiction. Thus, the ICC shall have the power to exercise its jurisdiction. over persons for the most serious crimes of International concern as provided in the Statute. The meting out of punishment to perpetrators of international crimes is one of the distinct measures adopted by the International Criminal Court (ICC) in ensuring that victims of international crimes are adequately compensated for the wrong or harm which they have suffered. Another distinct measure adopted is the inclusion of victims’ right in its Statute. These rights are; right to protection, participation and reparation. Also, the ICC has equally established legal frameworks by which victims can have access to these rights, such as the Trust Fund for Victims, Victims and Witnesses Unit, Victims Participation and Reparation Section. In the same vein, the mechanisms by which the ICC exercises its jurisdictional powers are, State Referrals, Security Council referrals and the prosecutors’ initiatives. Notwithstanding, the above mentioned measures provided by the ICC, the problem of protection and redress for the violation of victims rights still remains a hard nut to crack. Hence, this research project sets out to discuss the rights of victims, possible means for seeking redress, limitations faced by ICC in the enforcement of these rights and finally recommendations made to ensure that these rights are adequately protected.
