 ecent decades\, claims for reparations of historic injustices have amplifi
 ed\, whether in the context of colonial wrongdoing against Indigenous Peop
 les\, reparation for enslavement or compensation for victims of discrimina
 tory laws targeting specific minority groups. Meanwhile\, the emergence of
  transitional justice has sparked the normative development of the right t
 o reparations. Drawing from the cases of Canada and Colombia\, this panel 
 will seek to address some of the core legal questions related to the State
 ’s obligation to provide reparations for massive and/or State-sanctioned v
 iolations of human rights and breaches of International Humanitarian Law.
