A/HRC/34/30 counter-terrorism laws, policies and practices achieve their goals and that any negative impact on human rights is promptly addressed. 58. The human rights of victims of terrorism need to be respected, including their rights to reparation, truth and justice as well as their right to live free from fear and be provided with the support they require. Victims need immediate assistance but also long-term medical and psychosocial support, as well as financial support to compensate the destruction of their property or loss of their livelihood and jobs. Victims should be provided with equal access to justice and an effective remedy, through which they can benefit from adequate and prompt reparation for the harm suffered. With regard to alleged human rights violations in the counter-terrorism context, States must conduct prompt, independent, impartial and thorough investigations. If it is established that a violation has occurred, victims must be afforded effective redress, including payment of compensation to individuals who have been denied due process. 16
