ABSTRACT
When it comes to mass victimization, every attempt to provide justice and reparation to victims is an extremely difficult task. After all, what would be a fitting punishment for the killing of thousands? Is it possible to adequately distinguish offenders, victims and bystanders in the chaos of a state in collapse? What does reparation mean for victims who have lost everything — their families, their homes, their possessions — and who either witnessed the cruellest forms of sadism or were themselves victims of such cruelty? These are just a few of the complex questions post-conflict societies are struggling with.
