About:
CIVICOP was established in Angola in 2019, as a national reconciliation commission to honour victims of political conflicts during the civil war (1975–2002). CIVICOP’s work is primarily based on locating, exhuming, and returning human remains of civil war victims to their families.
Restitution Measures:
None.
Framework Limitations:
The work of CIVICOP is largely positioned as domestic return of human remains and not explicitly pertaining to international cultural heritage repatriation.
