Summary/Abstract: Reparations are measures and mechanisms used by a society with the aim of overcoming the consequences of war crimes and returning the war crime victims the dignity which had been taken away from them. They can be: material and symbolic, individual and collective, and administrative and judicial. In the past theory and practice, five forms of reparations have been established: compensation, restitution, rehabilitation, satisfaction, and non-repetition guarantee. This work presents the reparations given to the war crime victims on a theoretical, normative (internationally and in Bosnia and Herzegovina), and practical level in Bosnia and Herzegovina and its entities.
