The right to an effective remedy for trafficked persons 2011, para. 18
Paragraph- Paragraph text
- In substance, victims of human rights violations must be provided with adequate reparations for the harms suffered. While most human rights treaties do not explicitly spell out the content of reparations, the Basic Principles and Guidelines on the Right to a Remedy and Reparation for Victims of Gross Violations of International Human Rights Law and Serious Violations of International Humanitarian Law ("Basic Principles and Guidelines on Remedy and Reparation") elaborate various forms of reparations, including restitution, compensation, rehabilitation, satisfaction and guarantees of non-repetition. Clearly, the form of reparations that should be provided to the victim would depend on the nature and circumstances of the violation. While not all forms of reparation are necessary in all cases, adequate reparation may only be achieved in particular cases by the combination of different forms of reparation.
