december 2012 Telling the truth The right to public memory

By Diana Swift

In North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia and Australasia—wherever groups of people have been systemati- cally victimized—thousands are still liv- ing with the pain of past atrocities, acts that have remained publicly unacknowl- edged. Their right to public memory has been suppressed. The World Association for Christian Communication (WACC) has been a pio- neer in advocating for the right to public memory. “It came out of our long-term work in communication rights,” says Philip Lee, WACC’s deputy director of programs. “You can’t really claim to have freedom of expression unless you have the right to know and remember what happened in the past, and to tell your stories in public.”

Sometimes, governments and others museum of memory and human rights may try to repress these stories in an At the Museum of Memory and Human Rights in Santiago, Chile, a young girl touches a wall that names victims of the brutal dic- effort to move on and leave the past LEST WE FORGET behind. Not surprisingly, those most af- tatorship of General Augusto Pinochet (1973–90), in which more than 3,000 people “disappeared.” The museum functions as a healing bridge between fected by the loss of their history are the past and present, and aims to restore a sense of dignity to those who lost family and friends. WACC has been a pioneer in the concept of the right to most vulnerable: minorities, indigenous public memory, insisting that public memory and acknowledgment are essential aspects of political justice. peoples and the poor. But to reconcile should not mean to forget, Lee points out, adding that sweeping tragic events under the national rug is no foundation for social renewal. WACC, therefore, supports projects that help people reclaim the past and bring them into the public sphere so that all citizens can under- stand the basis on which their country moves forward. “We are looking at the role of the mass media in this process since they Read all about it are often owned by government or con- WACC’s flagship publication,Me - servative business interests that stand dia Development, is an international to reap political and economic gains by quarterly journal dedicated to the suppressing these stories,” says Lee. theory and practice of commu- After the 12-year civil war in El Salva- nication around the world.
