Repaired but poor victims? The post-conflict encounter with transitional justice and the remaking of the field
Transitional justice has become the legal and moral grammar for articulating victims’ demands for justice in conflict-affected societies. Yet it is a grammar that deftly places the responsibility for addressing impoverished victims’ main concerns, namely economic and social rights (ESR), in other fields. This is largely possible thanks to the ‘separability thesis’, according to which ESR and reparations are conceptually distinct, and therefore th…
The State, the assailant? Guaranteeing economic and social rights after widespread violence through the Inter-American Court of Human Rights
The Inter-American Court of Human Rights has traditionally addressed the socio-economic wrongs that result from episodes of widespread violence indirectly, under the lens of civil and political rights abuses.

Using empirical data on victims and perpetrators in countries affected by armed conflict and org…

This article outlines the European Court of Human Rights’ current approach for the protection of human rights in conflict-related scenarios and critically examines its suitability to cope with the socio-economic c…

This article critically analyzes these arguments and concludes that, when dealing with forced displacement, the existing humanitarian protection framework, inspired by a dis…
