Reparations
摘要
This chapter examines the intersection of reparations and technology within the framework of transitional justice, focusing on the growing role of corporate actors, particularly in the context of surveillance capitalism. It explores how digital technologies, while often enabling human rights violations, challenge traditional approaches to reparations. The chapter calls for a rethinking of reparations to address both tangible and diffuse harms caused by data exploitation and mass surveillance, emphasizing that both state and corporate actors must collaborate in delivering comprehensive redress. It discusses key principles and forms of reparations, including restitution, compensation, and guarantees of non-repetition, and how these must evolve to account for technology-driven harms. The chapter also underscores the importance of victim participation and the need to address vulnerabilities of marginalized groups disproportionately affected by surveillance technologies. Through a detailed analysis of Latin American examples, it argues for more inclusive and forward-looking reparations frameworks.
