Cultural heritage is a feature of transitioning societies, from
museums commemorating the end of a dictatorship to adding places
like the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp to the World
Heritage List. These processes are governed by specific laws, and
yet transitional justice discourses tend to ignore law's role,
assuming that memory in transition emerges organically. This book
debunks this assumption, showing how cultural heritage law is
integral to what memory and cultural identity is possible in
transition. Lixinski attempts to reengage with the original promise
of transitional justice: to pragmatically advance societies towards
a future where atrocities will no longer happen. The promise in the
UNESCO Constitution of lasting peace through cultural understanding
is possible through focusing on the intersection of cultural
heritage law and transitional justice, as Lixinski shows in this
ground-breaking book.
