The examination of reparations’ constitutive practices throughout this book has revealed actors’ competing goals, rationales and interests regarding court-ordered reparations. The resulting frictions and contestations have been at the core of the social life of reparations and an engine of its production. Putting these contestations at the centre of the inquiry has shown who determines what reparations means and entails, shedding light on the interplay of different interpretations and power constellations. The conclusion to the book provides a brief summary of the contribution a practice-based approach makes to understanding reparations and offers some observations that may assist with delineating the space that reparations could reasonably occupy within international criminal justice.
