Article 109

3. Property, or the proceeds of the sale of real property or, where appropriate, the sale of other property, which is obtained by a State Party as a result of its enforcement of a judgement of the Court shall be transferred to the Court.
Article 79
Trust Fund
1. A Trust Fund shall be established by decision of the Assembly of States Parties for the benefit of victims of crimes within the jurisdiction of the Court, and of the families of such victims.
2. The Court may order money and other property collected through fines or forfeiture to be transferred, by order of the Court, to the Trust Fund.
3. The Trust Fund shall be managed according to criteria to be determined by the Assembly of States Parties.
This provision is narrower than the ICC Statute.
The CAHWCA 2000 provides the Attorney-General with a wide discretion as to whether or not to transfer to the ICC the property obtained through the enforcement of forfeiture orders. The Attorney-General may, alternatively, pay money directly to victims of the crimes, or their families, or otherwise do as he sees fit. This gives a wider discretion to the State than envisaged in the Rome Statute, which makes the transfer to the ICC mandatory ("shall be transferred to the Court"). Deduction of the costs of enforcement, which is explicitly allowed by the CAHWCA 2000, is not contemplated by the Rome Statute.
