Education and the Law of Reparations in Insecurity and Armed Conflict

This publication considers how attacks on education during insecurity and armed conflict have been redressed in the past and may be redressed in the future. In identifying innovative approaches and new trends in the field of reparation, it reflects on how education can be used as a means of reparation and as a means to minimise the risk of conflicts recurring. In doing so, the publication brings together wide-ranging examples of law and practice from the international, regional and domestic spheres through an analysis of the relevant law in each sphere. This approach provides a strong foundation for recommendations for relevant future legal and policy decisions. These will assist those involved in the field in strengthening the right to reparation for education-related violations of law, as well as promoting the use of education as a means to repair the harm caused by other kinds of wrongful acts.
