ABSTRACT
On its tenth anniversary the ICC (or ‘Court’) was rightly celebrated for delivering its first judgment, in the case of Thomas Lubanga Dyilo (‘the Accused’). Less celebrated but equally as important is the related Court’s ‘Decision Establishing the Principles and Procedures to be Applied to Reparations’ (‘Decision on Reparations Principles’ or ‘Decision’), 1 given that reparations for victims is an aspect commonly considered critical to the success of this permanent institution, which pushes international justice beyond purely punitive responses to mass crime. 2
