La demande en réparation de crimes perpétrés dans un passé plus ou moins lointain et qui ont marqué la conscience de l'humanité (les " crimes de l'histoire ") fonde à l'heure actuelle de nombreuses réclamations portées devant des fors nationaux, transnationaux et internationaux. La restitution des fonds dormants des banques suisses et la réparation des dommages causés par les travaux forcés en Allemagne au cours de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, les actions engagées contre le gouvernement japonais pour le recours systématique, lors de ce conflit, à des " femmes de réconfort " ou les débats suscités, lors de la Conférence des Nations Unies de Durban en août 2001, par la question de la réparation des dommages causés par l'esclavage ne sont que quelques exemples d'une importante controverse qui s'impose désormais dans le débat politique international. Le présent ouvrage collectif - auquel ont participé non seulement des juristes, mais également des représentants d'autres disciplines des sciences sociales ainsi que des journalistes - analyse le rôle du droit en ce domaine. Au moyen de l'examen d'expériences passées et de perspectives d'avenir, il vise à identifier les institutions et mécanismes à disposition de ceux qui réclament une réparation pour les crimes de l'histoire ainsi que les obstacles qu'ils rencontrent dans l'univers du droit. L'ouvrage constitue un outil précieux pour tous ceux qui cherchent à approfondir leur réflexion sur le sens à donner, dans le contexte de la communauté internationale contemporaine, à ces doléances faites pour certains, au nom de la justice, sinon du droit, et qui apparaissent pour d'autres, comme un exercice de " surenchère de la mémoire ".

Reparations for Slavery in International Law examines the case for contemporary redress for the harms and legacies of transatlantic enslavement from a legal perspective. It critically evaluates the history of transatlantic enslavement and the evolutions in international law that justified and perpetuated the exploitation of African people and people of African descent. It unpacks the requirements of state responsibility, assessing the impact of time on claims for redress for historic injustices. It presents a new theory of reparatory justice, responsive to both the underpinning principles and the modalities of redress in international law. This book considers the emerging practice of reparations in transitional justice and the relevance of these frameworks in cases of widespread historic injustice, while upending orthodox understandings of the international legal frameworks relevant to case for reparations. In so doing, it opens new space for the reconsideration not only of the international legal claim for reparations for slavery but also the moral and political case.

This book provides detailed analyses of systems that have been established to provide reparations to victims of genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes, and the way in which these systems have worked and are working in practice. Many of these systems are described and assessed for the first time in an academic publication. The publication draws upon a groundbreaking Conference organised by the Clemens Nathan Research Centre (CNRC) and REDRESS at the Peace Palace in The Hague, with the support of the Dutch Carnegie Foundation. Both CNRC and REDRESS had become very concerned about the extreme difficulty encountered by most victims of serious international crimes in attempting to access effective and enforceable remedies and reparation for harm suffered. In discussions between the Conference organisers and Judges and officials of the International Criminal Court, it became ever more apparent that there was a great need for frank and open exchanges on the question of effective reparation, between the representatives of victims, of NGOs and IGOs, and other experts. It was clear to all that the many current initiatives of governments and regional and international institutions to afford reparations to victims of genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes could benefit greatly by taking into full account the wide and varied practice that had been built up over several decades. In particular, the Hague Conference sought to consider in detail the long experience of the Conference on Jewish Material Claims against Germany (the Claims Conference) in respect of Holocaust restitution programmes, as well as the practice of truth commissions, arbitral proceedings and a variety of national processes to identify common trends, best practices and lessons. This book thus explores the actions of governments, as well as of national and international courts and commissions in applying, processing, implementing and enforcing a variety of reparations schemes and awards. Crucially, it considers the entire complex of issues from the perspective of the beneficiaries - survivors and their communities - and from the perspective of the policy-makers and implementers tasked with resolving technical and procedural challenges in bringing to fruition adequate, effective and meaningful reparations in the context of mass victimisation.
