War devastates the lives of those who are caught up in it. For
thousands of years, reparations have been used to secure the end of
war and alleviate its deleterious consequences. More recently,
human rights law has established that victims have a right to
reparations. Yet, in the face of conflicts that last for decades
with millions of victims, how feasible are reparations? And what
are the obstacles to delivering them? Using interviews with
hundreds of victims, ex-combatants, government officials, and civil
society actors from six post-conflict countries, Reparations and
War examines the history, theoretical justifications, and practical
challenges of implementing reparations after war. It examines the
role of non-state armed groups in making reparations, the role of
victim mobilisation, the evolving use of reparations, and the
political instrumentalization of redress. Luke Moffett offers a
measured and honest account of what reparations can and cannot do.
This book sheds new light on how reparations can be politically
manipulated, or used to reward those loyal to the State, rather
than to achieve justice for the victims who suffer.
