Avenues for justice past the statute of limitations are limited but not entirely closed. In some cases, courts may allow exceptions, such as when new evidence emerges or when the delay was due to fraud, concealment, or the plaintiff's incapacity. Certain crimes, especially serious ones like murder or human rights violations, may have no statute of limitations at all. In civil matters, victims might pursue alternative remedies like restitution, reparations, or public inquiries. Additionally, international courts or human rights commissions may offer recourse in cases where domestic legal options have expired. While legal action may be restricted, truth-seeking, acknowledgment, and restorative justice processes can still play a meaningful role.
