reparation

 
     
  The redress of an illegal act. See also damages.


Compensation exacted for an act which is deemed to have been politically or morally improper (usually both). Victors in war have sometimes exacted reparations from the defeated states – as instanced notably in the 1919 Treaty of Versailles made at the conclusion of the First World War.
