Ad hoc international criminal tribunals set up to deal with the aftermaths of gross and widespread violations of human rights completely ignore victims'' rights and their involvement in the court proceedings. This defect was lately corrected with the establishment of the International Criminal Court (the ICC) that gives room for the compensation of victims and their effective participation in the proceedings. The ICC redress provisions grant victims three kinds of rights: participation, protection and reparation. But only time will certify whether the ICC will provide effective redress to victims.
