Chapter Five: From Built Heritage to Memory Mapping: Site Analysis, Documentation, and Valuation
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: This chapter examines the constitution of memorial value in relation to the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) building. It commences with an analytical framework for conceptualizing war heritage preservation as memory space, briefly situating the discussion within contemporary theoretical discourse. Subsequently, the analysis addresses comparative approaches to judicial memory sites, specifically examining how both Nuremberg and Sarajevo have established commemorative connections with the ICTY and developed strategies for preserving its institutional memory. The investigation extends to an examination of Bosnian-Dutch community agencies in the Netherlands, particularly focusing on their commemorative practices and activities surrounding the creation of a national memorial for Srebrenica in The Hague. The chapter concludes with a spatial analysis of memorial value as it pertains to the ICTY operation within the Churchillplein 1 building, mapping the multiple dimensions of the memorial value embedded within this unique site of transitional justice.
