reconciliation or to restore relations between the violator and injured parties, as well as a basis to repair
or rehabilitate physical and psychological integrity and dignity.
In international law, a breach of an international obligation gives rise to a duty to repair the harm caused. The
obligation to make reparation follows a determination that a particular act caused, or sufficiently contributed to,
the
harm or damages and implies a level of wrongfulness. However, certain international law agreements may also
impose an obligation to afford reparation for losses irrespective of fault.
It has been recognized that reparation must “fully” repair any injury, including any material or moral damage
caused by the wrongful act. It must, so far as possible, wipe out all the consequences of the illegal act and
reestablish
the situation that would, in all probability, have existed if that act had not been committed.
THE RECOGNIZED FORMS OF REPARATION
1. RESTITUTION relates to the reestablishment of the situation that existed before the wrongful act was
committed.
2. COMPENSATION is for any pecuniary and nonpecuniary losses, including loss of profits and employment.
3. REHABILITATION refers to long-term medical and psychological care and surgeries as well as legal care,
4. SATISFACTION refers to measures such as formal acknowledgment of the unlawful character of the
breach, apologies, and prosecutions.
5. GUARANTEES OF NONREPETITION are forward-looking remedies focusing on prevention that can
refer to either measures of deterrence aimed at protecting a victim from further harm or broader measures,
such as legal and institutional reform and vetting of public officials aimed at avoiding the wider conditions
that allowed for the breach.
These forms, afforded singly or in combination, feature in the United Nations Basic Principles and Guidelines
on the Right to a Remedy and Reparation, adopted by the UN General Assembly in 2006. Article 34 in the
International Law Commission’s Draft Articles on the Responsibility of States for Internationally Wrongful Acts
lists restitution, compensation, and satisfaction as the forms of reparation.
