Login introduction Home Restorative Justice Introduction Tutorial: Introduction to Restorative Justice ... Lesson 5: Programs: Potentially-Restorative Outcomes Restitution Restitution History Institutionalized restitution dates back to ancient times (Karmen, 1990 at 279). Under the Babylonian Code of Hamumurabi (c. 1750 B.C.) victims were entitled to receive payment for certain property offences. Mosaic law required thieves to repay oxen to victims from whom they had stolen oxen. The Roman law of Twelve Tables (449 B.C.) prescribed repayment schedules for theft of property according to when, and under what circumstances, the thief stole and handed over the property. In the case of violent offences, Middle Eastern codes, such as the Sumerian Code of Urnammu (c. 2050 B.C.) and the Code of Eshnunna (c. 1700 B.C.) required restitution (Van Ness and Strong, 1997 at 8). In the ninth century in Britain, offenders were required to restore peace by making payments to the victim and the victim's family (Karmen, 1990 at 280). The main purpose of institutionalized restitution was to prevent retaliatory violence for wrongdoing, providing a more "civilized" means of reparation (279-280). But, in the West, with the rise of the feudal aristocracy and the nation-state, royal officials began to assess fines, in an effort to increase coffers, for presiding over grievances and protecting offenders from retaliation. Eventually, these fines began to crowd out restitution paid to the victim (280). Finally, with the rise of the modern state's assumption of the investigative, prosecutorial and enforcement functions, crime became treated primarily as a disruption of the state's security (280-281); no longer were the financial hardships to private individuals of vital importance in criminal courts (281). Restitution to the victim had fallen out of use.

It rather is based on treaty regulations made after the opening up of Eastern Europe in 1989. This fundamental political change was sealed with a number of treaties. 1.

Date: February 10, 2000 Austrian Federal Minister for Foreign Affairs Benita Ferrero-Waldner Informs on "Human Rights Protection and Holocaust related issues in Austria" Vienna, 10 February 2000 A. Austria's domestic system for the protection of human rights Legislative situation: Austria's system for protecting human rights is particularly strong: we have a highly developed national human rights legislation and practice and a strong and independent judiciary. This national legislation and practice is firmly linked to a number of international human rights treaties: - Austria is party to practically all major international human rights treaties and has traditionally played an active part in their elaboration. - We have accepted the possibility for individual complaints to the Human Rights Committee and the Committee Against Torture. - We have not only ratified the currently best international human rights system, the European Human Rights Convention, but we have made it - as one of only two or three countries - part of our Constitution. This means that not only anybody residing in Austria can introduce a complaint to the European Court for Human Rights, whose judgements are binding upon governments, but that, in addition, all Austrian legislation has to be in conformity with the European Convention and its

I. AMERICAN CRIME B. The Development of the Concept of Law A complete and accurate understanding of the concepts inherent in our American criminal law system can only be attained by a review of its history, philosophy, and development. Modern criminal law is the result of a long evolution of laws that have attempted to deal with and define deviant behavior in Society. b.1 Code of Hammurabi The Code of Hammurabi is considered one of the first known attempts to establish a written code of conduct. King Hammurabi ruled Babylon at approximately 2000 B.C. During that period, Babylon was a commercial center for most of the known and civilized world. Since its fortune lay in trade and other business ventures, the Code of Hammurabi provided a basis for order and certainty essential for commerce. The Code established rules regarding theft, sexual relationships, interpersonal violence, and other issues. It was intended to replace blood feuds with a system sanctioned by the state. The Code of Hammurabi was divided into five sections: A penal or code of laws A manual of instruction for judges, police officers, and witnesses

VICTIMS' RIGHTS WORKING GROUP WHO WE ARE WHAT WE DO VICTIMS' RIGHTS ... CONTACT US VICTIMS' RIGHTS Version Française What are Victims' Rights Under International Law and Before the ICC? In many ways, victims have been the silent partners in the legal process, with little role other than as witnesses, and at the mercy of litigants. If the International Criminal Court (ICC) is going to fulfil its promise of providing justice for victims of atrocities and reconciling societies, it must incorporate a process that provides real justice to the victims. "The victim's perspective may be perceived in many societies as a complication, an inconvenience and a marginal phenomenon. However, the awareness is growing that redress and reparation for the victims of gross violations of human rights is an imperative demand of justice and a pressing requirement under international law, in particular the law of human rights." Theo van Boven, preface to publication of the proceedings of the "Seminar on the Right to Restitution Compensation and Rehabilitation of Victims of Gross Violations of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms," held in Maastricht, the Netherlands, 11-15 March 1992.

Priorities Guidelines About Us Human Rights ... Collaborations Legal Issues Several articles of the Declaration address access and fair treatment within the justice system. Nonprofits apply numerous strategies for promoting legal rights. Restorative justice programs provide alternatives to traditional practices with the understanding that crimes harm whole communities. Through community involvement and accountability, these programs humanize both the victim and the perpetrator. A broad segment of the community participates in the programs to support and assist the victim, hold the offender accountable while determining ways for him or her to make amends, and take on the responsibility of addressing the underlying issues that cause crime. The Legal Rights Center used a Foundation grant to expand their Minnesota work statewide to engage those in the legal, law enforcement, and various cultural communities in strategies to strengthen the state network of local restorative justice programs; William Mitchell College of Law convened a Restorative Justice Summit.

The Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR) has been advised of the passing by Congress of the so called “Law of Justice and Peace” in the Republic of Colombia. This legislation, that requires the presidential signature in order to enter into force, establishes a legal framework for the demobilization of members of illegal armed groups involved in the commission of serious crimes against the civilian population in the context of the armed conflict. In view of the recent adoption of this bill, the IACHR makes public its general observations regarding the contents in light of its mandate to promote the observance and defense of human rights, as well as the task delegated to it by the Permanent Council of the Organization of American States (OAS) in the sense of “ensuring that the role of the OAS be completely in accordance with the commitments of the member states regarding full compliance with human rights and international humanitarian law” in the process of dialogue between the Colombian government and the paramilitary in Colombia.
