Restorative Responses in Support of Victims of Crimes against Humanity and the Crime of Genocide

Restorative justice is a form of criminal justice based on "compensation." Compensation means trying to repair the deplorable effects of crime and losses, whether in full or symbolic. Today, the issue of repairing and compensation of victims of international crimes is important. Due to the silence of the statutes and legal texts of the Special International Criminal Court on the rights of the victims and the repair of their damages, it is now time to organize a special legal and criminal regime to "repair" the damages inflicted on the victims of international crimes. In addition to resorting to restorative processes in the prosecution of international crimes, especially with regard to the Truth and Reconciliation Commissions which lead to the granting of amnesty to criminals, other restorative methods such as training victims and their participation in cases are also indicated. However, restorative justice in crimes against humanity and genocide is still a new thing, but a comprehensive plan must be developed and implemented internationally to compensate victims.
