Overview
War Crimes
Quantifying war crimes victims globally is a complex task due to the fluid nature of conflicts and the diverse interpretations of war crimes. Victims are often in areas beset by ongoing warfare, governance instability, or targeted oppression, making accurate data collection challenging. Factors such as limited access to conflict zones and the propensity for these crimes to go unreported further complicate this task. Organizations like the United Nations, the Red Cross, Human Rights Watch, and Amnesty International are dedicated to detailing the ramifications of war crimes on civilians.
Victims' Rights
- Right to Justice: Access to legal systems that address war crimes and crimes against humanity.
- Right to be Heard: Personal narratives and experiences deserve to be heard as a critical part of the justice process.
- Right to Accountability: Seek legal consequences for those responsible for human rights abuses.
- Right to Reparations: The opportunity to pursue compensation or restitution for harms suffered.
Victims may have the right to reparations in the form of financial compensation for their suffering and to restitution for the restoration of property and rights lost.
