Since independence Ugandans have endured episodes of violence and human rights abuses across successive political regimes and transitions with devastating consequences. During two decades of conflict in the northern Uganda involving the Lordâs Resistance Army (LRA) and the government forces, human rights abuses were perpetrated against individuals, families, and communities. With the return to peace, the government, victimsâ groups, and civil society are now considering how to move forward with a national policy on transitional justice that includes reparations for victims in the north given the magnitude of serious violations that were committed. Although the immense scope of the harms inflicted and tragic ramifications have been reported and studied locally and internationally, there is very limited coordinated response that directly addresses victimsâ reparative needs to date. In 2007 the Ugandan government pledged to promote redress in the Agreement on Accountability and Reconciliation signed in Juba, affirming that it âis essential to acknowledge and address the suffering of victims, paying attention to the most vulnerable groups, and to promote and facilitate their right to contribute to society.â 1 In June 2012, the International Center for Transitional Justice (ICTJ), with funding from the United Nations Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights, held two-day training seminars in the districts of Kitgum and Gulu with victimsâ and civil society groups, members of district peace committees, local government, and religious leaders. This paper recounts what the participants said would be the best ways to address victimsâ reparative needs now that the policy making process has been initiated in Uganda.
