Right to health in conflict situations 2013, para. 67

Paragraph
Paragraph text
Remedial measures should involve removing discriminatory policies and laws, and formulating and implementing comprehensive national health plans to realize the right to health post-conflict. States should also provide platforms to heal the rifts in society caused by conflict. Mechanisms such as truth and reconciliation commissions, international and hybrid criminal tribunals, international and regional human rights mechanisms and fact-finding missions can provide important complements to judicial and administrative remedies at the national level in this regard. At all levels, the participation of affected communities in remedial processes is essential to ensuring a meaningful and sustainable resolution of the conflict.
