(b) orders by the ICC against convicted persons specifying reparations to, or in respect of, victims.

(2) The regulations may authorise the Governor—

(a) to appoint a person to act on behalf of the ICC for the purposes of enforcing the order, and
(b) to give such directions to the appointed person as appear to him necessary.
