Reparations in human rights violations

Abstract

The reparation of human rights violations stands out as a highly diverse object of study, ranging from administrative aspects to reaching the international arena thanks to the so­called system of protection of human rights. Due mainly to the early and highly elaborated evolution of inter­ national law, a number of legal instruments have been recognized in order to effectively ensure the protection of human rights as well as the content and the scope of the State’s international obligations contracted about violations of human rights and any breaches that may be presented by the State. That is why if we want to continue on the path of protection of human dignity and combating human rights violations, we must not put aside the analysis of reparation of the da­ mage, which must include minimum measures; restitution of the damages caused to the victims, investigation and punishment of those responsible, and the implementation of measures that guarantee the non­repetition of the facts.
