Recognising Victimhood: Lessons from the International Criminal Court and Mass Claim Programmes for the Compensation Procedure Parallel to the Trial of International Crimes in the Netherlands

In the Netherlands, the Dutch criminal court in The Hague (hereinafter: ‘Netherlands International Crimes Court’ or ‘NIC court’) is assigned to try international crimes, and to provide compensation to victims of such crimes. Whereas it has specific criminal laws at its disposal to try international crimes, it applies ‘regular’ Dutch civil law to assess claims for compensation. Yet compensation for international crimes entails challenges that are quite different from domestic crimes: international crimes are normally committed against a large number of victims, and frequently result in bodily harm. This article argues that the NIC court will most likely rule a large number of claims for compensation inadmissible, as a consequence of which victims cannot benefit from the advantages inherent in the award of compensation within the criminal process. It then explores the adjudicative and reparatory standards that the International Criminal Court and mass claim programmes have applied to simplify both the adjudication of a large number of claims, and the calculation of a large number of instances of bodily damage. It is submitted that adoption by the NIC court of international reparatory standards could facilitate the assessment of a large number of civil claims within the criminal process, without prejudice to the legitimate interests of the defendant for an adequate procedure. However, these standards require the NIC court to strike a new balance between tailor-made compensation and symbolic compensation, and thereby between corrective justice and restorative justice.

承认受害者:国际刑事法院的教训和在荷兰审判国际罪行的同时赔偿程序的大规模索赔计划

在荷兰,海牙的荷兰刑事法院(以下简称:“荷兰国际犯罪法院”或“NIC 法院”)负责审理国际犯罪,并向此类犯罪的受害者提供赔偿。虽然它有专门的刑法来审判国际犯罪,但它适用“常规”荷兰民法来评估赔偿要求。然而,国际罪行的赔偿面临着与国内罪行截然不同的挑战:国际罪行通常是针对大量受害者实施的,并且经常造成人身伤害。本文认为,NIC 法院很可能会裁定大量赔偿要求不可受理,因此受害者无法从刑事诉讼程序中赔偿裁决的固有优势中受益。然后,它探讨了国际刑事法院和大规模索赔计划为简化大量索赔的裁决和大量身体损害实例的计算而应用的裁决和赔偿标准。据认为,NIC 法院采用国际赔偿标准可以促进对刑事诉讼程序中大量民事索赔的评估,而不会损害被告人的合法利益,以便进行适当的程序。然而,这些标准要求 NIC 法院在量身定制的赔偿和象征性赔偿之间取得新的平衡,从而在矫正正义和恢复性正义之间取得平衡。
