Human rights advocates call for reparation as an important step to acknowledge and repair historical injustice and mass harms. In Bosnia and Herzegovina, victims of war continue to seek monetary reparation for non-pecuniary damages caused by genocide: murder, injury to human body and dignity, and harms inflicted upon a close family member. They seek legal remedies using national, foreign, and international human rights judicial venues. Drawing from qualitative, ethnographic research data and archival documents, the article examines legal claims and public discourse regarding reparation and makes a case for a reconceptualization of reparation by including victim voices. The article concludes that despite being absent from the post-conflict victims’ reparation programs in Bosnia and Herzegovina, monetary reparation has assumed a social valuation attribute. On the one hand, it is a victim’s call for retributive, legal conceptions of justice – that someone who escaped international and national criminal justice programs pays. On the other hand, it is a tool to draw attention to Bosnian victims’ present civil and political exclusions that came with the international post-conflict peace treaty. While the post-war reconstruction focused on international trials, democratization, restorative justice, and state building programs, it also restricted socio-economic and cultural rights by redefining the citizenship and dismantling the welfare state. Reparation is a debt owed to victims.

人权倡导者呼吁将赔偿作为承认和修复历史不公正和大规模伤害的重要步骤。在波斯尼亚和黑塞哥维那，战争受害者继续为种族灭绝造成的非金钱损害寻求金钱赔偿：谋杀、对人体和尊严的伤害以及对亲密家庭成员造成的伤害。他们使用国家、外国和国际人权司法场所寻求法律救济。本文利用定性、人种学研究数据和档案文件，审查了有关赔偿的法律主张和公共话语，并通过纳入受害者的声音，提出了重新概念化赔偿的理由。文章的结论是，尽管波斯尼亚和黑塞哥维那的冲突后受害者赔偿方案没有参与，货币赔偿具有社会价值属性。一方面，这是受害者对正义的报复性法律概念的呼吁——逃避国际和国家刑事司法计划的人会为此付出代价。另一方面，它是一种工具，可以提请注意国际冲突后和平条约带来的波斯尼亚受害者目前的公民和政治排斥。虽然战后重建侧重于国际审判、民主化、恢复性司法和国家建设计划，但它也通过重新定义公民身份和废除福利国家来限制社会经济和文化权利。赔偿是欠受害者的债务。正义的法律概念——逃避国际和国家刑事司法计划的人支付的费用。另一方面，它是一种工具，可以提请注意国际冲突后和平条约带来的波斯尼亚受害者目前的公民和政治排斥。虽然战后重建侧重于国际审判、民主化、恢复性司法和国家建设计划，但它也通过重新定义公民身份和废除福利国家来限制社会经济和文化权利。赔偿是欠受害者的债务。正义的法律概念——逃避国际和国家刑事司法计划的人支付的费用。另一方面，它是一种工具，可以提请注意国际冲突后和平条约带来的波斯尼亚受害者目前的公民和政治排斥。虽然战后重建侧重于国际审判、民主化、恢复性司法和国家建设计划，但它也通过重新定义公民身份和废除福利国家来限制社会经济和文化权利。赔偿是欠受害者的债务。恢复性司法和国家建设计划，它还通过重新定义公民身份和废除福利国家来限制社会经济和文化权利。赔偿是欠受害者的债务。恢复性司法和国家建设计划，它还通过重新定义公民身份和废除福利国家来限制社会经济和文化权利。赔偿是欠受害者的债务。
