Acclaimed by the UN and the EU as a successful example of a domestic reparations program, the law enhanced Turkey's chances for the opening of the accession talks with the EU and led the European Court of Human Rights to reject, on the basis of the availability of a new mechanism, around 1,500 applications filed by the Kurdish displaced. The law was also welcomed as a justice mechanism. Based on an extensive fieldwork in the province of Van in Turkey's Kurdish region, this book analyzes the substance and the implementation of this law from the lens of the displaced, their lawyers, the civil society in Van and the public officials charged with implementing the law. It questions the assumption that the law provides an efficient transitional justice mechanism capable of repairing the relations between the Turkish state and its Kurdish citizens.
