Reparations and International Crimes
The rise of restorative justice in
international criminal law.
What is the Reparations and International Crimes Project?
The Reparations for Victims of International Crimes: A Comparative Analysis project, funded by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC) through the Insight Development program, examines reparative justice mechanisms implemented both internationally and nationally in response to international crimes and serious human rights violations.
Project Objectives
The project aims to better understand the various reparative mechanisms related to international crimes and large-scale human rights violations. The findings are presented through articles and animated video capsules.
Our activities
On 13 May 2025, the Canada Research Chair in Human Rights and International Reparative Justice, in collaboration with the Centre de justice pour les victimes d'actes criminels and the Centre de recherche en droit public, organised a Colloque on ‘'Les défis contemporains de la réparation : perspectives nationales, comparées et internationales’.
The speakers at this symposium were: Miriam Cohen (University of Montreal), Alain-Guy Sipowo (University of Montreal), Maya Bodenmann (University of Lausanne and Université Libre de Bruxelles), Anna Glazewski (University of Strasbourg) and Jean Benoît Falisse (University of Edinburgh).
Professor Miriam Cohen and Silviana Cocan received the Prize Publication en français Louise Dandurand Prize from the Fonds de recherche du Québec, Society and Culture sector, for their article entitled: "La dualité de la responsabilité internationale de l’État et la responsabilité pénale individuelle dans le cadre de la guerre russo-ukrainienne : une analyse à la lumière de la poursuite de l’acte d’agression et des crimes de guerre”, published in the Quebec Journal of International Law.
As part of ‘Les Soirées de la justice du CRDP’, we welcomed Judge Volker Nerlich, Chief of Chambers at the ICC and former judge of the Special Court for the Central African Republic, who delivered a lecture on ‘The role of hybrid tribunals in the Rome Statute system’. This lecture was co-organised by the Globalisation under Strain Research Group, the Centre de recherche en droit public and the Canada Research Chair in Human Rights and International Reparative Justice.
