Victims of international crimes suffer from various harms, losses and injuries sustained by them personally during or after acts of victimisation. While most harms take an immediate and easily identifiable form, some of them become visible only years later. Transgenerational harms belong to the latter category since they denote negative consequences of victimisation that are transmitted across generations. Those who sustain such harms, that is future victims, are not yet born when the crime is committed against their next of kin. Reflecting on the complex nature of transgenerational harms, this study examines two theories of transgenerational victimisation and asks whether future victims should receive reparations under Article 75 of the Rome Statute.

国际罪行的受害者在受害行为期间或之后遭受他们个人遭受的各种伤害、损失和伤害。虽然大多数危害采取直接且易于识别的形式，但其中一些危害仅在几年后才会显现。跨代伤害属于后一类，因为它们表示受害的负面后果，代代相传。那些承受这种伤害的人，即未来的受害者，在对他们的近亲犯下罪行时尚未出生。反思跨代伤害的复杂性，本研究检验了跨代受害的两种理论，并询问未来的受害者是否应根据《罗马规约》第 75 条获得赔偿。
