“…24 The reliance on the criminal justice system, as opposed to more flexible transitional justice measures, has also undercut the potential for more innovative reparations for CRSV unhindered by the manifold procedural and evidentiary obstacles it poses. 25 Further, the criminal justice approach has systematically under-documented CRSV, a fact that continues to pose substantial obstacles to any eventual effort to deliver reparations. This problem was especially acute for victims of CRSV.…”

Both reparations and conflict-related sexual violence (CRSV) have been marginal to the story of the Northern Ireland transition from conflict. CRSV has received little formal acknowledgement, reflecting more fundamental gender-blindness in harm documentation and transitional justice in the jurisdiction. Likewise, reparations provision has been scant and piecemeal. The article documents the highly partial and deeply inadequate approach to reparations for CRSV in Northern Ireland throughout and after the conflict. We contend that the inadequacies of this approach have been so deficient as to in fact obscure-rather than illuminate-the manifestation of CRSV in the jurisdiction, thus undercutting an essential basis for effective reparations design and delivery in the future. The article ameliorates the identified absence of documentation and understanding of gendered harm in Northern Ireland, by offering a preliminary mapping of CRSV in the conflict. The article concludes that a transformative approach to reparations for CRSV in Northern Ireland would be one that advances recognition of both gender analysis and reparations as essential components of post-conflict justice in the jurisdiction.

“…58 They do not wish to be paid off or bought off by the government. Rather, they believe that the ultimate sacrifice made by their loved ones, and the everyday sacrifices they made trying to cope with the disappearance, entitle them to special compensation by the state that now exists because of their loss – in the very same way that benefits accrue to the family members of officially sanctioned military personnel who are killed in the line of duty.…”

The Strengths and Limitations of South Africa's Search for Apartheid-Era Missing Persons

This article examines efforts to account for missing persons from the apartheid era in South Africa by family members, civil society organizations and the current government’s Missing Persons Task Team, which emerged out of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission process. It focuses on how missing persons have been officially defined in the South African context and the extent to which the South African government is able to address the current needs and desires of relatives of the missing. I make two main arguments: that family members ought to have an active role in shaping the initiatives and institutions that seek to resolve the fate of missing people, and that the South African government ought to take a more holistic ‘grave-to-grave’ approach to the process of identifying, returning and reburying the remains of the missing.

“…Reparation programs for victims of human rights violations are increasingly acknowledged as a central feature of doing justice in post-conflict societies (Rubio-Marín & De Greiff, 2007). The traditional restorative approach on reparations has recently been broadened by the concept of transformative reparations that were recommended by the ICC and the UN Secretary General (2014).…”

This article addresses the challenges that integral reparation programs meet when aiming to respond to multiple victimization experienced by displaced women. By adopting the ethnographic concept of "frictions" (Tsing, 2005), I analyze four dimensions of discursive frictions that occur surrounding reparative practice backed by the Law on Victims and Land Restitution and its multiple local encounters and dis-encounters when compensating multiple victimization in the post-conflict of Medellín. Like other studies have identified shortcomings of the idealistic and innovative Colombian reparation program, it becomes evident that the integral reparation efforts fall short in addressing the real complexity of interrelated and multiples victimizations in the urban context. Respectively the paper addresses the question of how experiences of compound victimization are considered within their temporal beginnings, continuities and endings. Derived from field research and problem-centred interviews conducted in 2017 the paper draws on a perspective of compound harm to understand the complexity of multiple victimization experienced by forcibly displaced women. Fricciones en procesos de justicia transicional. Ley de víctimas en Colombia, reparaciones integrales y temporalidad de la victimización en el caso de mujeres desplazadasResumen. Este artículo aborda los desafíos que enfrentan los programas de reparación integral de víctimas cuando procuran responder ante victimizaciones múltiples de mujeres desplazadas. Adoptando el concepto etnográfico "fricciones" (Tsing, 2005), se analizan cuatro dimensiones de fricciones discursivas que acontecen alrededor de prácticas reparadoras respaldadas por la Ley de víctimas y restitución de tierras, y sus múltiples encuentros y desencuentros locales cuando se han procurado compensar victimizaciones múltiples en el posconflicto de Medellín. Otros estudios han identificado defectos del idealista e innovador programa colombiano de reparación integral, pero estos esfuerzos se quedan cortos el abordar la real complejidad de las victimizaciones múltiples en el contexto urbano. El artículo analiza cómo se han abordado las experiencias de victimizaciones múltiples desde sus inicios, desarrollos y finales. A partir de investigación de campo y entrevistas centradas en problemas realizadas en 2017, el artículo acude a una perspectiva de daño interrelacionado para comprender la complejidad de la victimización múltiple vivida por mujeres víctimas de desplazamiento forzado.Palabras clave: justicia transicional, reparaciones integrales, reparaciones transformativas, Ley de víctimas en Colombia, mujeres desplazadas.
