After the first and second world wars, as the international law was not yet very strong, naturality, the important issue of the position of victims and repairing the damages to them and compensation of their losses have not yet been a major concern .in the meantime, the talk of international circles rather than enforcing the justice was the punishment of international wars criminals. After the periods of cold war and occurring the killings in Bosnia and Herzegovina and then, establishment of international court tribunal for the former Yugoslavia and then, Rwanda genocide and establishment of the second special international criminal court, in spite of silence in the statute of both courts about the rights of victims and repairing damages to them, Rwanda local law along with organic law 1996 and formation of Gachacha courts somewhat symbolically have given attention to the rights of victims and enforced the rules in order to repairing damages. After, by universal consensus on the Rome statute and formation of international criminal court, the rights of victims went one step further. The attention was given to the right of participation in the proceedings, right to be protected and finally the right to enjoyment of reparation and compensation. Thereafter, the victim will have the right to claim compensation but he is not a party in the claim, instead, he can submit his request in the proceedings. Today, the reparation and repairing damages to victims has opened both its place in the proceedings and has become the institution which can be like a punishment or a hybrid tool with its own specific functions.
