Reparations should be understood as a debt owed perpetually, until satisfied, to all victims, and due from the offending body. For instance, it has been suggested that the only way to repair the damage caused by imperialism is via a program of reparations targeting the offending nations which would insist on justice through the instrument of financial and physical reparations - meaning infrastructure, education, and industry - to those parts of the world which have been plundered by the imperial nations.[1] African nations serve as a case in point.
