This paper reflects on the reparation of victims from a legal perspective, withing the framework of the State's international responsibility, and based on International Human Rights Law (IHRL). Arguments are presented in favor of transferring the study of the reparation of victims from the components of the State's international responsibility towards human rights, taking as core the concept of the victim. Later, the reparation of victims is characterized as a complex human right. Therefore, some judgments on merits of the Inter-American Court of Human Rights (I/A Court H.R) are analyzed, to demonstrate the progressive inclination towards the protection of fundamental rights in Latin America, by the guarantee of the victim's right to reparation.
