What are reparations and how are they different from other transitional justice mechanisms? How are reparations from war different from those of dictatorships, legacies of slavery and colonization? Do reparations help people "heal", individually and collectively, wounds from the past? If so, how? 
What is our role in agreeing upon or legitimizing a "hierarchy of victims"?  How do we perceive justice for victims? Can justice ever arrive "too late"? Do victims really feel a sense of “closure” when reparations talks and programs take place? Can victims "self-repair"? What can we learn from the case studies of Guatemala, Peru, Northern Ireland, Uganda, Nepal, South Africa and Kosovo? 
An interview with Dr. Luke Moffett, reader of the School of Law at Queen's University Belfast and author of the new book "Reparations and War: Finding the Balance in Repairing the Past".
