Abstract

Ambon is a migrant town in Indonesia known throughout history for its accommodating and welcoming view of different communities, beliefs, and ethnic backgrounds amongst its population. However, in 1999, a vicious conflict, ostensibly for religious motivations, caused widespread damage, loss of life, and displacement. Although the conflict has since subsided, effects linger due to the inefficiency or unavailability of effective reparations programmes offered by the Indonesian Government to remedy the damage caused. This article discusses a common argument proposed in defence of the State’s inaction, namely that State reparations are not applicable for horizontal conflicts, and contends that Indonesia is internationally obligated to take reparative action. The article then discusses the types of reparations that should be made available, its relevance for the Ambonese victims, and the importance of collective remedies owing to the specific communal nature of Ambonese society. The article concludes that reparations are necessary and obligatory, and Indonesia should undertake these efforts to accommodate healing, reconciliation, and to prevent the re-emergence of similar conflicts
