Nevertheless, many reparations claims are based on appeals to international law, to developments in international human rights law and international criminal law, and specific prohibitions on slavery and genocide. It would appear intuitive that international law would provide remedies to the blatant injustices that are the subject of these claims. Slavery and exploitation have been denounced in the Durban Declaration<span>2</span> and genocide and crimes against humanity including apartheid and other such practices are listed in the statute of the International Criminal Court.<span>3</span> International law, however, has been largely a creation of the European powers; and historically, the law has facilitated rather than remedied colonial violence.<span>4</span> It is unsurprising then that many claims for reparations encounter some basic legal obstacles.<span>5</span> This is hardly coincidental.

The idea of undoing the effects of a wrongful act is intrinsically about (re)balancing the scales, while the notion of <span>jus cogens</span> seeks to infuse the system of international law with community values and a spirit of justice.</p>","PeriodicalId":47841,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of International Law","volume":"31 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2025-09-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144995385","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
