Part VI – Enforcement of Penalties

Assistance with Enforcement of Victim Reparation Fines and Forfeiture Orders

64. Enforcement of orders for victim reparation.
(1) Where the ICC requests enforcement in accordance with article 109 of the Statute of an order requiring reparation made under article 75 of the Statute, the Minister shall give authority for the request to proceed, if he or she has reasonable grounds to believe that –

(a) neither the conviction in respect of which the order was imposed nor the order requiring reparation is subject to further appeal; and

(b) the order can be enforced in the manner provided in this section, and shall refer the request to the appropriate Ugandan agency.

(2) The appropriate Ugandan agency shall, without delay –

(a) in case where the order requires a monetary payment, take such steps as are necessary to enforce the order as if it were a sentence of compensation imposed under section 126 of the Trial on Indictments Act; or

(b) in a case where the order requires the restitution of assets, property or other tangible items, take such steps as are necessary to enforce the order as if it were an order for the restitution of property made under section 129 of the Trial on Indictments Act; or

(c) in a case where the order requires another remedy, take such steps as are necessary to enforce the order; and

(d) shall, without delay, make such report to the Minister on the results of any action taken as it considers to be appropriate in the circumstances.

(3) Nothing in this section shall be construed as limiting or affecting the provision of other types of assistance to the ICC in relation to an order made under article 75 of the Statute.
