This book explores the legal frameworks and practices regarding reparation for grave violations of human rights. Edited by professors Albrecht Randelzhofer and Christian Tomuschat, it compiles scholarly essays and discussions from an international colloquium held in Berlin. The contributors examine the evolving role of individuals as claimants under international law, focusing on treaties like the European Convention on Human Rights and the American Convention on Human Rights. The book delves into case studies, including reparation efforts for victims of apartheid in South Africa and human rights violations in East Germany. It also addresses the challenges and implications of a 'privatized' regime of state responsibility for reparations. Intended for legal scholars, practitioners, and policymakers, the book aims to enhance understanding of international obligations and individual rights in the context of human rights violations.
