“…Finally, and most importantly, our ndings reinforce the fundamental role of context and values within health system stewardship (6,17,45) and the importance of aligning health policy with broader agendas (46). In Canada, we have seen the recent adoption of the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples and the release of the nal reports of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission and the Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls (47)(48)(49)(50). In association with these reports, Canadian National bodies have begun to recognize the importance of Indigenous rights and self-governance.…”

Background Meaningful performance measurement requires indicators to be scientifically robust and strategically focused. For many circumpolar states, indicators aligned with national strategies may ignore the priorities of northern, remote, or Indigenous populations. The aim of this project was to identify contextually appropriate performance indicators for maternity care in Northern regions. Methods A scoping review generated a working list of indicators. Fourteen maternity care and health systems experts then participated in a modified Delphi consensus process. Participants rated proposed indicators according to importance, circumpolar relevance, validity, and reliability and suggested additional indicators for consideration. Results Consensus was achieved after two rounds. Eleven indicators were rated highly on all four criteria. Twenty-nine indicators, largely focused on social determinants of health, health care responsiveness, and accessibility, were identified for further research. Conclusions The Delphi approach was effective in identifying indicators for maternity care in Northern regions. Further research and collaboration with key stakeholders is necessary to further develop indicators of health system responsiveness and accessibility.

“…Japan, indeed, has openly accepted only its 'moral responsibilities', 72 and tried to assuage the victims through monetary contributions ex gratia channelled through a newly established Asian Women's Fund (AWF). Such emoluments have not always been so well received; NGOs urged victims to boycott the AWF 73 and many survivors refused to accede the payments, noting Japan's refusal to own up to its historical responsibility and provide full reparation. 74 In short:…”

“…The consistent denial, acknowledgment, and then blaming the victims for the injustices experienced, has lent credence to the viewpoint that the Japanese government is insincere in its efforts to come to terms with the past. 75 Alongside an overdue acknowledgement of generic 'responsibilities', 76 and Japanese Prime Minister Shinzō Abe's conveyance of 'his most sincere apologies and remorse', 77 the 2015 agreement contemplated a Japanese contribution of a modest sum (approximately US$8.8 million) towards the establishment of a Korean foundation supporting former comfort women. The Foundation for Reconciliation and Healing was effectively created in July 2016 and received the promised amount by the Japanese government.…”

Remedies Against Immunity?

Given the deadlock in the current negotiations between Germany and Italy and the unavailability of judicial remedies for the victims, the two states could set up a reparation scheme. This chapter sketches some of the main features of such a hypothetical scheme, considering existing internal or international arrangements in the context of transitional justice (the Foundation ‘Remembrance, Responsibility and Future’ (Erinnerung, Verantwortung und Zukunft) scheme; the Australian DART scheme; the deal between Japan and South Korea on reparations to ‘comfort women’; the US/French schemes for reparations and restitution to holocaust victims; the Eritrea/Ethiopia reparations scheme; and the Iraq/Kuwait scheme). In particular, the emphasis is on the system of identification of the eligible victims, the question of financing and the fate of pending and future judicial claims. Assuming the states’ willingness to explore this project, the chapter outlines some of the ways the scheme could operate in practice, drawing from existing models.

“…The results have been mixed, fairly successful across Western Europe and less spectacular in the rest of the world. But the politics of regret are now a well-established tool of international politics and have led to an impressive track record of apologies and reparation agreements all across the world (Olick, 2007;Wolfe, 2014). Such developments would never have happened without years of successful memory didactics in the public sphere.…”
