Abstract: This paper examines the evolution of reparations in Sri Lanka within the broader context of transitional justice. Focusing on the Office for Reparations (OR), it explores how reparative measures have shifted from basic compensation to more inclusive, victim-centred approaches. The study assesses the OR’s policies, achievements, and ongoing challenges. Drawing on legal texts, institutional reports, and expert analysis, it argues that meaningful reparations must be transparent, inclusive, and part of a wider justice framework that includes truth-seeking and institutional reform.
