Documentation and its Role
in Memorialization, prepared for the SJAC by Ereshnee
Naidu, here.
Successful transitional justice aims to ensure peace, respect
for human rights, and the rule of law. In Syria, suffering,
devastation, and fragmentation pose real challenges to a stable
peace. Achieving the goals of transitional justice will be more
than just difficultit will take time. Fortunately,
memorialization processes recognize the importance of
memory and have become widely-recognized as a key pillar of
transitional justice.
Memorialization works to preserve memory and facts from a
conflict, while also serving as a powerful catalyst for positive
social transformation. Given the politically sensitive nature of
memorialization efforts, documentation during and after a
conflict can provide memorialization with a foundation based
on facts, contributing to perceptions of legitimacy.
Memorialization can take a range of forms, and in the past has
included the preservation of physical sites of memory, such as
the Nyayo House in Kenya which previously served as a secret
torture center. Now, Nyayo House is the focus of a popular
effort seeking to preserve the site for its truth-telling potential.
The Role of
Documentation in
Memorialization
The second installment in theSJAC's ongoing Memo Series,"Documentation and its Role inMemorialization" describes the
role that documentation canplay in supporting and
strengthening memorializationefforts in Syria.
