📅 19 July 2021 📍

Report A/76/180 by the UN Special Rapporteur on truth, justice, reparation and guarantees of non-recurrence examines transitional justice measures addressing gross violations committed in colonial contexts. It expands attention to colonial harms within international debates on truth, reparations, memorialization and institutional reform. As an expert report to the General Assembly, it offers analysis and recommendations rather than a binding judgment or compensation award. Its significance lies in naming colonial legacies as matters for reparative justice and not only as distant history.
