Uganda's justice minister backed the International Criminal Court while diplomats met in The Hague, and he called out countries sanctioning ICC judges. Norbert Mao told Court President Tomoko Akane that attacks on the institution hurt global justice efforts, and he warned that the real danger comes from internal division rather than outside pressure.
Mao discussed a massive reparations program connected to the Dominic Ongwen case, which involves 52 million euros for victims. He met with the ICC's deputy prosecutor and the Trust Fund for Victims director to work out how the money gets distributed.
Uganda was the first nation to bring a case to the ICC, and government reps said they're sticking with the Court despite political heat from other countries.
