In this paper, we continue the study undertaken by Danos and Krivine on reversible CCS by defining a reversible higher-order {\ensuremath{\pi}}-calculus (HO{\ensuremath{\pi}}). We prove that reversibility in our calculus is causally consistent and that one can encode faithfully reversible HO{\ensuremath{\pi}} into a variant of HO{\ensuremath{\pi}}.} }
