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.
