It is therefore recommended that each District have a core of trained counsellors and rehabilitation technicians, supported locally by a psychiatric nurse and doctor, with support from centrally-based specialists in the various modalities mentioned. Organization of services The principles of primary health care - cure, rehabilitation, prevention and promotion - should always guide the organization of services for survivors of torture and organized violence. This requires the recognition that the point of health care be available close to patients’ homes, and that the staff of these health facilities be able to manage the conditions that present to them. A suggested model is as follows: Primary Health Centre Identification of disorders. Management of minor disorders. Referral of more complex conditions, including disorders due to torture and organized violence. District Hospital Assessment of severe disorders. Individual counselling. Family counselling. Physical therapy. Medical interventions. Co-ordination of community work. Provincial Hospital Assessment of complex conditions. Specialist treatment. Compensation Compensation is a likely to be a central feature of the disgruntlement driving retribution, and it will be difficult to ignore this completely. A list of violations for which compensation should be paid for individuals has been provided by the Governing Council of the United Nations Compensation Commission xi. This list may be described shortly as follows: Category A: A spouse, child or parent of the individual who suffered death; Category B: The individual suffered serious personal injury involving dismemberment, permanent or temporary significant disfigurement, or permanent or temporary significant loss of use or limitation of use of a body organ, member, function or system; Category C: The individual suffered sexual assault or aggravated assault or torture; Category D: The individual witnessed the intentional infliction of events described in Categories A, B or C on his spouse, child or parent; Category E: The individual was taken hostage or illegally detained for more than three days, or for a shorter period, in circumstances indicating an imminent threat to his or her life; Category F: On account of a manifestly well-founded fear for one’s life or of being taken or illegally detained, the individual was forced to hide for more than three days; Category G: The individual was deprived of all economic resources, such as to threaten seriously his or her survival and that of his or her spouse, children or parents, in cases where assistance from his or her Government or other sources has not been provided. Individual compensation will be highly problematic, and, given the extremely high numbers of people affected in the past nine years, let alone those from the 1980s and the 1970s, exceptionally expensive. Hence, it will seem inevitable that recourse will have to made to forms of community compensation, outside of the more egregious violations for which it will hard to avoid individual claims. The form of community compensation will obviously need to have to have strong assent from the communities themselves, and thus it will be important that this is addressed in the consultative process referred to above.
