- To whom reparations are to be directed, how harm is to be assessed and the criteria to be applied to the awards
- Whether it is possible or appropriate to make a reparations order against the convicted person pursuant to Article 75(2)
- Whether it would be appropriate to make an order for an award for reparations through the Trust Fund for Victims pursuant to Article 75(2)
