allegedly committed in Uganda since July 2002. The suspect is not in ICC custody. The case also involved Raska Lukwiya, Okot
Odhiambo and Vincent Otti but proceedings were terminated due to their passing. On 29 October 2024, Pre-Trial Chamber III
issued a decision concluding that all the requirements to hold a confirmation of charges hearing in the absence of the suspect
Joseph Kony are now met. The date of the confirmation hearing will be announced at a later stage.

THE PROSECUTOR V. DOMINIC ONGWEN (REPARATIONS STAGE)

2004. The DRC government submitted a second referral on 23 May 2023 concerning alleged crimes committed in North Kivu by

renewal of investigative efforts in the DRC with a priority focus on any alleged Rome Statute crimes occurring in North Kivu
since January 2022. The Prosecutor determined that the latest episodes of violence in North Kivu since 2022 are interconnected
with patterns of violence and hostilities that have plagued the region since at least 1 July 2002, the start of the Court’s
jurisdiction in the DRC. Therefore, any alleged Rome Statute crimes committed in North Kivu since 1 January 2022 would fall
within the remit of the ongoing investigation opened in June 2004.

imprisonment. The time spent in ICC custody was deducted. On 1 December 2014, the Appeals Chamber confirmed the verdict

sentence, which he completed on 18 January 2016. On 24 March 2017, Trial Chamber II awarded individual and collective
