“What is the restitution that you are calling for?”: Hoe Namibische belongings uit Duitse collecties terugkeren
Restitutie is een sociaal proces op zich, dat bestaande machtsstructuren weerspiegelt en reproduceert. Terwijl het beweert schade te herstellen, kan het net zo goed nieuwe schade aanrichten door stemmen uit te sluiten en te marginaliseren. Tegelijkertijd betekent restitutie een vorm van thuiskomst. Dit wordt goed zichtbaar in de ervaringen van Namibische nazaten met processen van teruggave van rooferfgoed en voorouders door Duitse instituties.

Exploring the ICTY as Cultural Heritage
The past decades have shown an increase in ad hoc international law institutions, yet the afterlife of tribunals remains relatively unknown. This entry by Niké Wentholt and Siri Driessen explores how the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) in The Hague, as a site of cultural heritage with layered narratives, can be transformed into a place of multidirectional memory. It identifies key narratives accumulated during the ICTY’s lifespan, reflects on silences around peace and justice, and conceptualizes the tribunal’s afterlife as both a legal institution and an archive. Artistic representations are discussed as a means to complexify and transform the ICTY’s narratives, expanding understandings of its history, future, and broader relevance for the cultural afterlife of tribunals.
