The method of this study is conceptual paper, using a normative juridical as the type of research and secondary data collection. The result of this study highlights that the KKR-Aceh provides victims reparations by conducting some programs such as reconciliation of society, rehabilitation, house construction/renovation, and establishing monuments.
