Guidance Note of the Secretary-General: Reparations for CRSV (2014)

Developed with the support of UN Action Against Sexual Violence in Conflict, this Guidance Note of the United Nations Secretary-General provides policy and operational guidance on reparations for victims of conflict-related sexual violence (CRSV). The document outlines key principles for designing and implementing victim-centered, gender-sensitive, and transformative reparations programmes, including compensation, rehabilitation, restitution, satisfaction, and guarantees of non-repetition. It offers practical guidance for UN actors, governments, transitional justice practitioners, and development partners working to ensure access to effective remedies and reparations for survivors of CRSV.
