What is the role of reparation in the Special Jurisdiction for Peace (SJP)?

Although the main role of the SJP is to guarantee the victims' right to justice, reparation plays an essential role in restorative justice, as it seeks to heal the harm caused. In this sense, those who appear before the SJP (former members of the FARC, members of the security forces, State agents) and who wish to obtain and maintain the benefits of this judicial system must contribute to guaranteeing the rights of the victims by providing the truth about the facts, acknowledging their responsibility, contributing to their reparation and fulfilling the commitment to non-repetition. 

It is for this reason that those who appear before the SJP must carry out reparative and restorative measures in order to fulfil their commitment to contribute to the reparation of the victims and the communities affected by the armed conflict. Additionally, those participants who are determined by the SJP to be those most responsible for the facts, who recognise their responsibility and contribute to the truth, will be sanctioned with restorative sanctions, known as Works, Works and Activities with Reparative Content (TOAR), which may include actions that dignify the victims of the armed conflict, that contribute to the recovery of the memory of the affected communities, that rebuild the infrastructure, that recover the ecosystem, among others. 

Therefore, in addition to the fact that LGBTIQ+ victims have a process of individual and collective administrative reparation that is being carried out by the Victims Unit, within the framework of the SIVJRNR, progress must also be made in measures that contribute to their reparation.
