"In PRIF Report No. 129 The Fortunate Ones and the Ones Still Waiting: Reparations for War Victims in Sierra Leone, Eva Ottendörfer examines the design and implementation of the reparations program conducted in Sierra Leone between 2008 and 2013. She confronts the hopes and promises attributed to the program with its actual effects. Due to the high number of victims specific target-groups have benefitted most from the program, leaving other victim groups with a reinforced sense of injustice and shaking their confidence in the state. The author concludes with recommendations for governments as well as for international organizations and makes the case for a more realistic view on advantages and disadvantages of reparations, which is not fraught with expectations." -- Publisher's website
