In cases of terrorism, the Statutory Victims of Terrorism Scheme covers both fatal
and personal injury applications, and is administered by the Criminal Injuries Compensation
Authority (CICA). The latter, reporting to the Ministry of Justice, has received 18
applications related to fatalities since its introduction, on 27 November 2012, and
has paid £228,807 across eight successful claims, with seven claims still in process.
The Foreign and Commonwealth Office does not provide compensation to the families
of British nationals murdered abroad, but does provide advice when there is a relevant
local compensation scheme in the country concerned.
