Reparations to women who have been subjected to violence 2010, para. 19
- Paragraph text
- It is important to draw a distinction between reparation measures and other rehabilitation measures.

Paragraph
Reparations to women who have been subjected to violence 2010, para. 15
- Paragraph text
- A significant contribution to the normative framework on the obligation to provide reparations has emanated from 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 (hereinafter, the Basic Principles and Guidelines) adopted in 2005. They present themselves as grounded in the recognition of a right to remedy for victims of violations of international human rights law, as found in numerous international instruments of human rights and humanitarian law. The right to remedy is said to encompass victims' equal and effective access to justice and adequate, effective and prompt reparation for harm suffered. The Basic Principles and Guidelines emphasize that they do not entail new international or domestic legal obligations, but rather identify mechanisms, modalities, procedures and methods for existing legal obligations.
