Atrocities by non-State armed groups (NSAGs) often capture international attention, but efforts to repair the harm they have caused are often overlooked. This article traces out some of the practices and tensions in NSAGs making reparations during wartime and in post-conflict transitions. It argues that engaging in reparations for acts committed by NSAGs can not only encourage greater compliance with international humanitarian law but also build support amongst civilian populations during armed conflict and facilitate ex-fighter reintegration at the end of hostilities. Drawing from interviews with a number of armed groups, the article also suggests that engaging with the armed group's organization rather than just individuals themselves can be an effective way to collectively mobilize a group's motivation and capacity to deliver on reparations, including recovery of disappeared persons, restitution of property and apologies. As such, this article seeks to contribute to a deeper understanding of reparation practices by NSAGs in order to see how reparations can be mediated and a hierarchy of reparation obligations developed.

暴力与修复：参与赔偿的非国家武装团体的做法和挑战

非国家武装团体 (NSAG) 的暴行经常引起国际关注，但修复其造成的伤害的努力却常常被忽视。本文追溯了 NSAG 在战时和冲突后过渡时期进行赔偿的一些做法和紧张局势。它认为，对 NSAG 的行为进行赔偿不仅可以鼓励更好地遵守国际人道主义法，而且可以在武装冲突期间在平民中建立支持，并促进前战斗人员在敌对行动结束时重新融入社会。从对一些武装团体的采访中，文章还表明，与武装团体的组织接触，而不仅仅是个人本身，可能是集体动员团体的有效方式。提供赔偿的动机和能力，包括找回失踪者、归还财产和道歉。因此，本文旨在帮助更深入地了解 NSAG 的赔偿做法，以了解如何调解赔偿以及制定赔偿义务的层次结构。
