Abstract: While the punishment of individuals for humanitarian law violations has received much greater attention over the past decade, the position of the victims of these violations has not been equally addressed. This position must ultimately be assessed on the basis of their right to claim reparation, which includes procedural capacity to go directly to a national or international organ and to claim reparation.
There is no general mechanism that would allow victims to assert their rights under International Humanitarian Law. However, there are other tools for establishing this right of compensation. At the international level, there has been some progress in this stage, the international criminal law provided the International Criminal Court as an effective mechanism open to victims for the defence of their rights. This Court is not the only way for the victims, since they have other judicial ways through the possible use of the national judiciary to bring their claims directly before the domestic courts.
