2018-12-14 Thesis Final Version MEMORY, SPACE & LAW MEMORY SITES OF THE 1992-1995 WAR IN PRESENT DAY BOSNIA & HERZEGOVINA AND THE INTEGRATION OF THE ICTY LEGACY. Scientific article Word count: 9.485 Aurore Vanliefde Student number: 01708804 Promotor: Dr. David Mwambari Master’s thesis presented for obtaining the degree of Master in Conflict and Development Academic year: 2018-2019 MEMORY, SPACE & LAW. MEMORY SITES OF THE 1992-1995 WAR IN BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA AND THE INTEGRATION OF THE ICTY LEGACY. Abstract This article revolves around memorialisation of the 1992-1995 war in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH). Theoretical insights from literature are combined with empirical data from 29 memory sites in BiH, two expert interviews, and additional information from informal conversations with guides and participation in guided tours. The aim of this study is to understand the use of memory sites of the 1992-1995 war in BiH, and research the extent to which the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY)’s legacy has been integrated into these memory sites. The findings show that memorialisation is on-going through the creation, conservation, accentuation and destruction of memory sites. Memorials are generally exclusively meant for one ethno-national group, and are often the product of local and/or private initiatives. These sites of memory are lieux de mémoire, as described by Pierre Nora, where a community’s collective memory is both materialised and generated. Personal testimonies are extensively used in museums and archival material from the ICTY is included in some memory sites. The ICTY’s legacy constitutes a unique kind of memory, a lieu de mémoire sui generis. In line with previous literature, the tribunal’s archives are a source of memory situated in an abstract legal realm where public memory can draw from. This article proposes to add a spatial dimension to this process, as the ICTY’s archival material is easing its way into physical memory sites. Key words: lieux de mémoire, collective memory, memory sites, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Sarajevo, ICTY Introduction You can’t throw a stone in Sarajevo without dropping it on a site of memory, on a place where something happened.1 Bosnia and Herzegovina (Bosna i Hercegovina, BiH) is home to countless places that testify of its rich history: Ottoman mosques, the assassination site of Franz Ferdinand, Yugoslav era statues of Tito, graffiti-covered historic bobsleigh tracks from Sarajevo’s ’84 Winter Olympics, and bullet-scarred buildings from the nineties’ war that profoundly shaped the country. This recent chapter of BiH’s history is the focal point of this article. During the breakup of the former Yugoslavia, BiH was the scene of violent warfare from 1992 to 1995. Silent reminders of the country’s past are still very present in its landscape, or ‘memoryscape’. Especially in Sarajevo, its capital city, memory of ‘the war’ is visible in red resin-filled holes caused by shells in the streets filled with red resin (the so-called Sarajevo Roses), commemoratives plaques, statues, and museums. More than 25 years after the conflict’s onset, the process of memorialisation is still on-going: new museums have been inaugurated in recent years and memory sites are an intrinsic part of touristic tours. In a country where interpretations of the conflict are highly contested by different groups and entities (Bosniaks and the Federation of BiH, Bosnian Serbs and Republika Srpska, and Bosnian Croats), memory is a sensitive topic. Like in many other settings that have lived through massive human rights violations (such as Rwanda, Cambodia, etc.), memory of BiH’s conflict is constantly (re)created, transformed and sometimes erased. In this light, an important actor of the creation and preservation of memory has been the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) in The Hague. Its mandate of prosecuting war crimes and other serious violations of international humanitarian law in the former Yugoslavia has contributed to documenting the conflict, and thus creating memory. The cessation of the ICTY’s activities in late 2017 generates the question of how its legacy will be used, and in what manner these legal memories will be translated into spatial memory. This article revolves around two central themes: physical sites of memory in post-conflict BiH and the integration of the ICTY’s legacy in those memory sites. Through a combination of literature and empirical data from visits of memory sites in Sarajevo, Potočari-Srebrenica and Mostar, the aim of this study is to get a better understanding of sites of memory in BiH and how the exceptional nature of the ICTY’s archives is used in these physical memory sites. 1 Free retranscription of a quote by Lamija Grebo (Sarajevo, 12.09.2018) 1 Theoretical framework The theoretical part of this article starts by introducing the theoretical notions of Pierre Nora’s lieux de mémoire, Halbwachs’ collective memory, the politics of memory, and the specific context of post-war BiH. These will serve as prelude and theoretical basis for the empirical data, which will be addressed later in this article. Building blocks: Lieux de Mémoire & Collective Memory As formulated by Nora (1996, xvii), a lieu de mémoire refers to “any significant entity, whether material or non-material in nature, which By dint of human will or the work of time has Become a symBolic element of the memorial heritage of any community.” The concept was born out of Nora’s observation that French society was losing sense of its collective memory and that institutions were set up with the aim of conserving it (allier Monteño, 2008; Ogino, 2015). These institutions (memorials, museums, archives, libraries, commemorations, anniversaries, events, newspapers, films, paintings, sculptures, writings, etc.) are all characterised by the intention to remember (Allier Montaño, 2008; Bottici, 2010; Ogino, 2015; Violi, 2017). In the field of memory studies, the concept of lieux de mémoire is now used beyond Nora’s (1996) original scope on the French society (Allier Montaño, 2008; Ho Tai, 2001; Rothberg, 2010; Winter, 2009). While the spatial dimension of memory had already been explored by Halbwachs (1925), Nora’s work particularly focused on specific spaces and institutions where a group’s collective memory crystallises and generates itself (Allier Montaño, 2008; Ogino, 2015). Halbwachs’ influential concept of collective memory (or public memory) refers to the collection of memories shared by members of a given group or community (Assmann, 2010; Houdek & Phillips, 2017; Ogino, 2015; Rothberg, 2010). Halbwachs (1925) articulated the idea that memory (typically formulated in individualistic terms earlier) and social frameworks mutually construct each other (Rothberg, 2010; Sorabji, 2006; Verovšek, 2016). Following his reasoning, individual memory (recollections of personal experiences) is also socially constructed, and can in turn become part of collective memory (Halbwachs, 1925; Houdek & Phillips, 2017). Very much like Durkheim’s (1893) conscience collective, collective memory shapes social order (Bottici, 2010; Musi, 2016; Ogino, 2015; Verovšek, 2016). Drawing on this, authors like Anderson (1983), Nora (1996) and Renan (1882) have argued that collective memory is a constitutive element of a nation-state and its identity (allier Montaño, 2008; Brice, 2010; Houdek & Phillips, 2017; Ogino, 2015; Verovšek, 2016). 2 These two well-established concepts in the field of memory studies have been thoroughly discussed and criticised. The very existence of a collective memory has been questioned by scholars including Koselleck (2004), Rothberg (2010), and Sontag (2003). Collective memory is not a fixed objective recount of history: it is a collection of shared (subjective) interpretations of the past and is subject to change (Havel, 2005; Houdek & Phillips, 2017). Despite the fact that both Nora (1996) and Halbwachs (1925) had alluded to the heterogeneous nature of memories and individual experiences, their work reifies the idea of a homogenous nation-state (Ho Tai, 2001; Rothberg, 2010). Another main point of criticism is Halbwachs’ and Nora’s binary opposition of history and memory (Allier Montaño, 2008; Lorenz, 2010; Ogino, 2015; Rothberg, 2010). However, Halbwachs acknowledged the influence of history in the creation of collective memory and Nora (1996) subsequently viewed the French national history as a historicised type of memory2 (Allier Montaño, 2008). Nevertheless, the relevance of both concepts and their interaction is undeniable. Indeed, lieux de mémoire shape the collective memory and vice versa (Houdek & Phillips, 2017). The (spatial) memorialisation of particular events entails the re-enforcement of a certain common memory (or narrative) that becomes the dominant one in a group and strengthens its collective identity (Connerton, 2008; Eastmond & Mannergren Selimovic, 2012). This also implies that memories outside of this common narrative are (forcibly) forgotten. As Allier Montaño (2008, p. 23) states; “It is not only memory that crystallizes in these places, so does forgetfulness: to the places of memory we should add the places of amnesia”. But how do sites of memory become sites of forgetting? and what exactly is forgotten then? Remembering & forgetting: the politics of memory Remembrance and forgetfulness are two sides of the same coin that is the politics of memory. As will become clear, this is especially true in contexts with contested narratives and memories related to particular identities like post-conflict Bosnia and Herzegovina (Eastmond & Mannergren Selimovic, 2012). Lieux de mémoire aren’t just products of consensual interpretations of past events, but can also testify of difficulties with dealing with a traumatic past (allier Montaño, 2008). Far from all lieux de mémoire bear witness to positive events, especially in post-conflict contexts. Many sites deal with negative aspects of a traumatic past, and have been referred to as ‘negative heritage’ (Ogino, 2015) or ‘traumatic heritage’ (Violi, 2017). Notwithstanding the intuitive urge of wanting to forget traumatic events, negative past experiences inspire the same will to record and remember as positive ones (Ogino, 2015).

A case study of the role of art institutions in post-war Bosnia and Herzegovina Abstract Post-conflict societies inhabit a prolonged identity crisis. This crisis defines the scenario in present day Bosnia and Herzegovina, where ethno-centric narratives embody the consciousness of the Bosniak, Croat, and Serb populations, inhibiting the prevalence of an overarching national identity. In this thesis, I contend that realizing a national identity, as defined by Benedict Anderson, is crucial to the reconciliation of a post-conflict country such as Bosnia. In light of the limitations of parliamentary structures (such as those defined by Bosnia’s Dayton Agreement) within a society affected by mass atrocity, I argue that art institutions are capable of negotiating the question of a national identity.

  • Antiretroviral Price Reductions
    UNTANGLING THE WEB OF ANTIRETROVIRAL PRICE REDUCTIONS 18th Edition – July 2016 www.msfaccess.org PREFACE In this report, we provide an update on the key facets of HIV treatment access. It includes the latest HIV treatment guidelines from World Health Organization (WHO), an overview on pricing for first-line, second-line and salvage regimens, and a summary of the opportunities for – and threats to – expanding access to affordable antiretroviral therapy (ART). There is a table with information on ARVs, including quality assurance, manufacturers and pricing on pages 55 to 57. THE MSF ACCESS CAMPAIGN In 1999, on the heels of Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) being awarded the Nobel Peace Prize – and largely in response to the inequalities surrounding access to HIV/AIDS treatment between rich and poor countries – MSF launched the Campaign for Access to Essential Medicines. Its sole purpose has been to push for access to, and the development of, life-saving and life-prolonging medicines, diagnostics and vaccines for patients in MSF programmes and beyond. www.msfaccess.org MSF AND HIV Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) began providing antiretroviral therapy to a small number of people living with HIV/AIDS in 2000 in projects in Thailand, South Africa and Cameroon. At the time, treatment for one person for one year cost more than US$10,000. With increased availability of low-cost, quality antiretroviral drugs (ARVs), MSF provides antiretroviral treatment to 240,100 people in 18 countries, implements treatment strategies to reach more people earlier in their disease progression, and places people living with HIV at the centre of their care.

  • Dalmatia – a Rough Guide to the Tour
    Dalmatia Delights A Rough Guide to the Tour 2 Dalmatia Delights Preface This guide (entirely and unashamedly lifted from other sources, mostly cited) tries to follow the Dalmatian Delights itinerary for the Ferris Wheels tour. Its purpose is to present in one place some highlights of the tour; and, hopefully, save participants from buying several guide books, although there is at least one book (Western Balkans, Lonely Planet) that covers a lot but not all of the itinerary. First, a little introduction to Dalmatia. As I noted on my Dalmatia page, the term is a loose way of referring, partly to Dalmacija, a region in Croatia, but then, loosely, to surrounding regions spanning coast, hinterland and mountains in parts of Slovenia, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Montenegro and, for good measure, the Passo di Stelvio in the Italian Dolomites. So don’t get too hung up on the name. More strictly speaking, Dalmatia (Croatian: Dalmacija), is an historical region on the eastern coast of the Adriatic Sea and is situated in Croatia. It spreads between the island of Rab in the northwest and the Bay of Kotor, in Montenegro, in the southeast. The hinterland, the Dalmatian Zagora, ranges from fifty kilometers in width in the north to just a few kilometers in the south. The Dalmatian dog gets its name from Dalmatia. In antiquity the Roman province of Dalmatia was much larger than the present-day region, stretching from Istria to historical Albania. Dalmatia signified not only a geographical unit, but it was an entity based on common culture and settlement types. Secondly, Dalmatia came before the dog! The dog got its name from its association with Dalmatia.

  • PUBLLISHED by Radovan Karadzic: Wartime Leader’S Years on Trial
    PUBLLISHED BY Radovan Karadzic: Wartime Leader’s Years on Trial A collection of all the articles published by BIRN about Radovan Karadzic’s trial before the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia and the UN’s International Residual Mechanism for Criminal Tribunals. This e-book contains news stories, analysis pieces, interviews and other articles on the trial of the former Bosnian Serb leader for crimes including genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity during the conflict in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Produced by the Balkan Investigative Reporting Network. Introduction Radovan Karadzic was the president of Bosnia’s Serb-dominated Repub- lika Srpska during wartime, when some of the most horrific crimes were committed on European soil since World War II. On March 20, 2019, the 73-year-old Karadzic faces his final verdict after being initially convicted in the court’s first-instance judgment in March 2016, and then appealing. The first-instance verdict found him guilty of the Srebrenica genocide, the persecution and extermination of Croats and Bosniaks from 20 municipal- ities across Bosnia and Herzegovina, and being a part of a joint criminal enterprise to terrorise the civilian population of Sarajevo during the siege of the city. He was also found guilty of taking UN peacekeepers hostage. Karadzic was initially indicted by the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia in 1995. He then spent 12 years on the run, and was finally arrested in Belgrade in 2008 and extradited to the UN tribunal. As the former president of the Republika Srpska and the supreme com- mander of the Bosnian Serb Army, he was one of the highest political fig- ures indicted by the Hague court.

James D. Schmitt Berlin, 1 February 2019 Abstract In an increasingly urbanized world, new constructs concerning urban fragility, the changed nature and increasing urbanization of armed conflict and emerging conceptual frameworks for urban post-conflict interventions present new discourses for urban planners and post-conflict first responders to consider. Cities with the highest level of fragility tend to be in states destabilized by ongoing intrastate conflict and yet even after negotiated peace settlements recovering cities appear particularly vulnerable to the accumulation of urban risks and tensions associated with higher levels of urban fragility. Working as part of an international post-conflict intervention recovery effort, how can urban planners contribute to achieving better long-term outcomes of peace and stability in the urban post-conflict setting? By conducting a macro and meso level case study analysis of Sarajevo's international post- conflict intervention through the lens of the social contract, liberal peace, and collective memory theoretical frameworks, this thesis seeks to identify strategic approaches and outcomes of Sarajevo's post-conflict intervention process and the related long-term impacts of these outcomes at the municipal and neighborhood scale.

Now, as the migrant crisis in Europe once more brings the Balkans back into the news, the Worcester Art Museum will present an exhibition of original works titled Blood and Honey, drawn from Haviv’s book of the same name. Organized by the Museum in collaboration with the artist, this is the fourth and final exhibition in a series that explores the work of photojournalists documenting areas of conflict—and the impact of conflict on both civilians and soldiers alike—as part of the Museum’s larger Knights! installation, which presents arms and armor in both an art historical and social context. Blood and Honey opens today and will continue through the close of Knights! on November 6, 2016. Haviv’s photographs presented the Balkan conflicts to the world with clarity and candor, tracking the escalation of the Yugoslav civil war from loosely organized militias with small weapons to the eventual deployment of tanks and heavy weaponry on all sides. His images also document the devastation the wars brought to the people of the region: ethnic cleansing, mass incarceration, and forced starvation; a massive refugee crisis; war crimes at a staggering scale; and more than 130,000 deaths.

Dimitri Kruglikov Čajdžinica Džirlo in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina. The muezzin’s call to prayer drifts up the hill to the teahouse, as ethereal as the wispy clouds that float in the luminous summer sky. As the call dies away, Hussein, a man with a great mane of white hair and a charismatic, California-grade smile, puts on music threaded with the unearthly vibrations of a theremin. Down the cobblestone street, the Ottoman Old Town appears a jumble of burnt-orange roofs clustering around a small turquoise dome in the middle of a modest square. Within Hussein’s teahouse, Čajdžinica Džirlo, there are hints of Turkey in the woven pillows and rugs and of Europe in the lacy table doilies. Arrayed at the front of the shop next door is a collection of objects crafted from pale, unvarnished wood: clogs, broom handles, crutches, a butter churn. The delicate almond and rose petal aroma of my chai mingles with the sharper smells of rich Bosnian coffee and acrid cigarettes from adjoining tables. Public smoking is still a thing in Sarajevo. It may not be a great idea for public health, but it certainly lends the place an appealingly raffish air, and adds to the sense of it belonging to an older world, one that is at once rustic, small town and cosmopolitan, that moves to its own languid pace.

A version of a model named for this economist uses an extreme value distribution of productivity to generate gravity equations. Eaton and Kortum built on earlier work by Dornbusch, Fischer, and Samuelson, who expanded this man’s model of two goods to cover a continuum of goods. Models named for this man typically focus on differences in (*) technology, rather than ​ differences in factor endowments.
