Abstract
The idea of rectificatory justice connects the past to the present and the future. States and peoples stand in continuing relations to each other, and what was done in the past has enduring implications for present and future relations. Historical injustices against peoples and individuals generate rights among the victims and duties among the former perpetrators. There is an unpaid debt as long as rectification is pending.
