18 years after the official end of the civil war in Sierra Leone, its reparation program is in trouble. While the international community provided much support in the beginning, the program is now largely left to itself.  Fin-Jasper Langmack draws lessons on the sustainability of transitional justice processes and the attention span of international actors in the field.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

After Sierra Leone\u2019s decade-long civil war ended in January 2002, the small West-African country was the center of the transitional justice world. The Special Court for Sierra Leone (SCSL) operated for about eleven years with more than 400 staff members. The Sierra Leone Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) compiled a four-volume account<\/a> of the conflict that went to press in 2004. Today, the transitional justice community has moved on. The TRC archives in Sierra Leone\u2019s capital Freetown barely receive any visitors. The former SCSL-courthouse is falling apart. Visitors are not allowed to take pictures. In the adjacent peace museum, which was refurbished last December, the only guide is anxious to save money and switches off the light in each room once the first visitor in months has seen all exhibits. This is not the center of transitional justice anymore; it is the periphery of it. Still, one largely forgotten measure continues to operate: Sierra Leone\u2019s reparation program. Its story holds important lessons about the sustainability of transitional justice processes and the attention span of international actors \u2013 both practitioners and academics \u2013 in the field.<\/p>\n

From the TRC recommendations to ad hoc measures<\/h3>\n

The TRC devoted an entire chapter of its final report to recommend comprehensive reparation measures for the most vulnerable survivors \u2013 amputees, severely war-wounded, survivors of sexualized violence and war-widows. The chapter foresaw pensions, free healthcare, education benefits and much more. Sierra Leone\u2019s government reluctantly agreed to implement the recommendations, but failed to take any action for four years. It required pressure from Sierra Leone\u2019s biggest survivor organization, the Amputee and War-Wounded Association (AWWA) and a 3.5 million USD grant from the UN Peacebuilding Fund<\/a> (PBF) to kickstart reparation efforts in 2008. The International Organization for Migration helped create a reparations unit in the National Commission for Social Action (NaCSA) and with the help of the International Center for Transitional Justice 33,863 survivors were registered<\/a>. Yet, from the beginning, major stumbling blocks appeared. The proposal to the PBF foresaw that the government would raise additional funds through special taxes, a debt-relief-for-reparation-scheme and other measures \u2013 none of which were implemented. The lack of funds, operational challenges and disadvantageous PBF regulations<\/a> forced a change of course. Instead of implementing the TRC recommendations as planned, each registered survivor received an interim-relief payment of 100 USD to bridge the time gap until more comprehensive reparation could be delivered.<\/p>\n

Alas, that day never came. Sierra Leone quickly decided to focus exclusively on individual compensation. From there on, the reparation program was defined by incoherent ad hoc measures, mostly stimulated by international donors. In 2011, a second PBF grant<\/a> allowed NaCSA to give another 300 USD as interim-relief to 1138 amputees.<\/p>\n

And then came Ebola<\/h3>\n

The first genuine compensation package was delivered between 2013 and 2015, after the UN Multi-Partner Trust Fund<\/a> (MPTF) granted Sierra Leone another 2.5 million USD for that purpose. Amputees and war-wounded received 1,400 USD along with limited skills training \u2013 mostly workshops on financial literacy.<\/p>\n

In 2015 and 2016, Ebola ravaged the country and made NaCSA\u2019s work impossible. Afterwards, the survivor register needed to be updated \u2013 seven years had passed since the original registration effort and much of the information was outdated. In 2017, NaCSA\u2019s work again stalled, because no international funds were available and the budget promised by the government did not arrive until late that year. Only in 2018 did the process resume and Sierra Leone started to compensate survivors of sexualized violence and war-widows.<\/p>\n

Beyond these core efforts, 16,500 survivors received counselling until 2016, when money for the program ran out. In addition, Sierra Leone provided some support to a housing program<\/a> by the Norwegian Refugee Council and to UN Women in delivering skills training (e.g. in soap making, tailoring and gara tie-dyeing) and healthcare to survivors of sexualized violence. Lastly, the reparation program delivered symbolic reparation in the form of commemoration ceremonies<\/a> and an apology to Sierra Leone\u2019s women.  <\/p>\n

The government had a number of other priorities<\/h3>\n

Even considering only this basic data, it is apparent that Sierra Leone did not deliver adequate, effective and prompt reparation to survivors. After four years of inactivity, it took Sierra Leone over a decade to provide a hotchpotch of small, unsustainable and incoherent reparation measures to probably only a fraction of the survivor population. Almost 29 years after violence started to engulf Sierra Leone, some survivors are still waiting for measures promised to them 15 years ago. Even those who received compensation often continue to live in abject poverty<\/a> \u2013 1,400 USD quickly evaporate, if chances for employment and business opportunities are scarce. No wonder frustration and disappointment<\/a> with the program are so common among survivors.<\/p>\n

In hindsight, this outcome was foreseeable. Sierra Leone\u2019s government never showed much enthusiasm for providing reparation to survivors. With limited resources and given the many challenges the country faced \u2013 rebuilding society after civil war, pursuing development and later managing the Ebola crisis \u2013 political priorities often lay elsewhere. Only upon pressure by AWWA did it apply for funding. Progress always depended on outside resources. Until 2014 \u2013 six years into the program \u2013 the government contributed 200.000 USD in funds, compared to 7.5 million USD given by the UN. Only when international donations ceased for good did the government provide domestic funds on a larger scale. By 2018 it had still only contributed roughly a quarter of the 10 million USD the program had cost since 2008.<\/p>\n

Transitional justice limited attention span<\/h3>\n

Sierra Leone\u2019s reparation program challenges those who pay attention to think about sustainability: the attention span of the international transitional justice community, practitioners and academics alike, can be short \u2013 often too short to ensure the delivery of meaningful, comprehensive reparation absent domestic political will. This situation is not unique to Sierra Leone. Many transitional justice measures around the world cannot build on much domestic political support. Even where it originally exists, political tides can change \u2013 as Colombia<\/a> makes painfully clear.<\/p>\n

Of course, it remains Sierra Leone\u2019s obligation to repair survivors. The reparation measures it provided do not suffice to discharge that obligation and a lack of international support provides no excuse for inaction. Nevertheless, political will won\u2019t magically appear. Sierra Leone ranks among the ten least developed countries<\/a> on earth. It has little resources to spare and budgetary priorities will always lie elsewhere. Political will is also difficult to create. Survivors do not have a voice powerful enough to change the government\u2019s policy. AWWA is stifled by a lack of resources and organizational structures. At times, the organization is unable to pay for electricity in their headquarters.<\/p>\n

It is also unlikely that Sierra Leone will move back into the center of the transitional justice world. Resources for transitional justice processes are limited and any dollar spent on Sierra Leone is a dollar lacking in Syria, Myanmar, The Gambia, etc. One can lament it, but one will not change that transitional justice has a limited attention span, dictated by donor fatigue, changed political priorities and perceived urgency.<\/p>\n

With a lack of domestic political will, an international community busy elsewhere and survivors too marginalized to substantially influence the political process \u2013 what remains to enforce the right to reparation for Sierra Leone\u2019s survivors? One could still rely on international oversight. Sierra Leone awaits its Universal Periodic Review in 2021. The UN Human Rights system could and should take up the topic and give survivors\u2019 claims the weight they alone cannot attain. Yet, to believe that an isolated intervention is the solution to the problem is optimistic \u2013 to put it mildly.<\/p>\n

Closing a gap \u201cof scandalous proportions\u201d<\/h3>\n

Mindful of the challenge, the UN Secretary-General<\/a> emphasized that \u201cto enhance the sustainability and relevance of transitional justice processes, these should be carried out, where feasible, by local and national actors. In this regard, international assistance has to concentrate on development of national capacity to initiate and lead the process.\u201c<\/p>\n

As a negative example, Sierra Leone substantiates that statement. Fortunately, reparation programs have the possibility to incorporate it. As a form of collective reparation for the disenfranchisement often accompanying human rights violations, reparation programs can offer survivor organizations material benefits, technical support and institutional strengthening, e.g. through seminars on advocacy or organizational skills . Such measures can help survivors to organize more effectively, empower them to participate in the political process and hold the state to account. Through helping develop such domestic capacity to drive transitional justice processes, reparation programs can make themselves more independent from international support. In the Sierra Leone context, AWWA provides a good \u2013 albeit unfortunately hypothetical \u2013 example. At crucial moments, the organization\u2019s pressure helped to create Sierra Leone\u2019s reparation program and to keep it running. Nowadays for a lack of funding, AWWA does not have the capacity anymore to engage in advocacy and lobbying for the reparation process. Sierra Leone\u2019s reparation program could have provided collective reparation measures to strengthen AWWA\u2019s financial and organizational capacity, e.g. by training its members in fundraising and communication, among others. In the long run, this might have given Sierra Leone\u2019s survivors the political impact needed to prevent the government from underfunding the reparation program and slowly phasing it out. <\/p>\n

Obviously, such collective reparation measures alone cannot make up for a lack of political will. But they provide one piece of the puzzle, which can ultimately help close what the Special Rapporteur on truth, justice, reparation and guarantees of non-recurrence described as an \u201cimplementation gap (\u2026) of scandalous proportions<\/a>\u201d.<\/p>\n
