Give two examples of how state-based initiatives have addressed human rights violations that happened more than 50 years ago.

What will be an ideal response?


Examples will vary, but should all show state-based initiatives addressing human rights violations that happened more than 50 years ago. For example, Germany began negotiations with its former colony Namibia over compensation for its genocidal warfare against both the Herero and Nama tribes in 1904–1905. In Asia, Japan’s prime minister apologized and pledged millions of dollars to South Korean women forced to work as sex slaves in Japanese military brothels in World War II.
