Reparations – 2000

The Townsville Peace Agreement called for the Solomon Islands Government to compensate victims of the conflict for loss of lives, property, employment or investment. No efforts towards compensation were observed in this year.

Reintegration – 2004

In March 2004, the UNDP began its final round of workshops to demobilize the constables discharged from the police force. With over 800 already reintegrated, an additional 230 constables were expected to complete the workshops.[1]

Reintegration – 2003

Of the ex-combatants recruited into the Special Constabulary Force after the conflict, 800 were discharged in February 2003 due to an overpopulation of the force and lack of funding.[1] In conjunction, the UNDP operated workshops to effectively reintegrate discharged constables, a program that began in September 2002.
