Combining interdisciplinary techniques with original ethnographic fieldwork, Christoph Sperfeldt examines the first attempts of international criminal courts to provide reparations to victims of mass atrocities. The observations focus on two case studies: the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia, where Sperfeldt spent over ten years working at and around, and the International Criminal Court's interventions in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Enriched with first-hand observations and an awareness of contextual dynamics, this book directs attention to the 'social life of reparations' that too often get lost in formal accounts of law and its institutions. Sperfeldt shows that reparations are constituted and contested through a range of practices that produce, change, and give meaning to reparations. Appreciating the nature and effects of these practices provides us with a deeper understanding of the discrepancies that exist between the reparations ideal and how it functions imperfectly in different contexts.

'Reparations sound great, in theory, but in practice can frustrate as thorny and empty. Christoph Sperfeldt stanches this disappointment and stands up for this undervalued cornerstone of social repair. His book is sensible and sensitive, and equally thoughtful as it is thought-provoking. Sperfeldt delivers a must-read that makes a persuasive case to foreground a grounded understanding of reparative justice.' Mark A. Drumbl, Class of 1975 Alumni Professor of Law, Director, Transnational Law Instititute, Washington and Lee University
