A/HRC/41/CRP.1 nothing in response. Accordingly, both filed suit, seeking the production of documents responsive to their request.333 For an international crime of this magnitude, the United States should fulfill its responsibility under international human rights law to cooperate fully in the investigation of the crime and produce as much information as possible to those seeking to hold the perpetrators accountable. III. Remedies and reparations 408. Remedies and reparations are a cornerstone of international law. They are the mirror to the State’s duty to protect. In other words, “[r]ights suppose a correlative obligation on the part of the State . . . without a remedy, a right may be but an empty shell.”334 Under the human rights framework, individuals have an undisputed right to claim reparations from the State. The victims’ right to remedy includes rights to the following: “(a) Equal and effective access to justice; (b) Adequate, effective and prompt reparation for harm suffered; (c) Access to relevant information concerning violations and reparation mechanisms.” 335 In the case of an unlawful death, reparation may include compensation, satisfaction, and guarantees of nonrepetition.336 Each form of reparation responds to a specific aspect or type of harm caused by a violation. 409. Satisfaction measures focus on the State duty to investigate, prosecute, and punish.337 Such measures include any or all of the following, where appropriate: effective measures aimed at the cessation of continuing violations; verification of the facts and full and public disclosure of the truth to the extent that such disclosure does not cause further harm or threaten the safety and interests of the victim; search for the disappeared; an official declaration or a judicial decision restoring the dignity, reputation, and rights of the victims; a public apology; judicial and administrative sanctions against persons liable for the violations; commemorations and tributes to the victims, etc.338 410. The principle of satisfaction raises serious concerns regarding the State’s investigation of the execution of Mr. Khashoggi and prosecution of those suspected of playing a role in the execution. 411. Compensation measures should be provided for any economically-assessable damage, as appropriate and proportional to the gravity of the violation and the circumstances of each case: physical or mental harm; lost opportunities, including employment, education, and social benefits; material damages and loss of earnings, including loss of earning potential; moral damage; costs required for legal or expert assistance, medicine and medical services, and psychological and social services.339 412. The Special Rapporteur obtained information regarding a financial package offered to the children of Mr. Jamal Khashoggi, which mirrors the information released by the Media340. However, it is questionable whether such package amounts to compensation under international human rights law or to an official apology. The trial of the 11 suspects is ongoing. Salah Khashoggi, one of Mr. Khashoggi’s children, tweeted that the financial package did not amount to an admission of guilt by King Salman and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman: “Acts of generosity and humanity come from the high moral grounds they possess, 333 334 335 336 337 338 339 340 82 https://knightcolumbia.org/content/knight-institute-and-committee-protect-journalists-v-cia-foia-suitrecords-governments-duty Christine Evans, The Right to Reparation in International Law for Victims of Armed Conflict, Cambridge University Press 126 (2012).
