This study compares the Argentine, Spanish, and French cases regarding the recognition and reparation of terrorism victims. It examines how the nature of the terrorist phenomena and the political and social contexts influence the perception of victims and the reparation models implemented by these different countries. In Argentina, the Humanitarian Movement promoted a hegemonic narrative about state terrorism during the military dictatorship, which served the democratic transition based on respect for human rights. In Spain, ETA's victims fought against social isolation until their political significance as symbols of democracy was recognized, leading to the creation of an advanced comprehensive reparation model. In France, international terrorism fostered a technical support framework with less politicization, which has persisted despite the evolving threat. The research highlights the importance of historical trajectories in shaping public responses and constructing the memory of victims.
