Response to the Questionnaire on transitional justice measures to address the legacy of serious violations of human rights and humanitarian law committed in colonial contexts: Reparation in the case of Palestine

Statement by the Housing and Land Rights Network (HLRN) of the Habitat International Coalition (HIC) addresses the need for reparation for Palestinians by outlining ongoing violations of international and human rights law and the losses that Palestinians have experienced since the Nakba. Argues that meaningful accountability and reparations have not been implemented. The draft, intended for submission to the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) Special Rapporteur on transitional justice, provides a framework for reparations, including right of return, land and property restitution, resettlement, rehabilitation, compensation, and institutional reform, through a lens of transitional justice. This source is valuable for researchers in transitional justice and housing and land rights, and outlines a reparations framework for Palestinian displacement.
