TRANSITIONAL JUSTICE IN ROMANIA. REPARATIONS FOR THE VICTIMS OF THE COMMUNIST REGIME AND LEGAL ORDER

Journal Title: Challenges of the Knowledge Society - Year 2016, Vol 6, Issue 0

Abstract

This study aims to analyse, through a transitional justice approach, the reparations granted by the Romanian state to the victims of the communist regime. The paper will examine the role of reparations in transitional justice programs, the main sources of international law and legal doctrine regarding reparations, as well as the evolution of the Romanian legislation on compensations for the abuses caused by the communist dictatorship. Eventually, we will try to assess the significance of reparations for the legal order of Romania.
