Connecting Past and Present: 2008 Report of International Coalition Activities 7/2008
The International Coalition’s first annual report, Connecting Past and Present, describes the latest work of Sites of Conscience around the world: how they are opening dialogue on critical questions in their communities, and how they are working together to build an international movement to remember the past and confront contemporary issues.

Memorialization and Democracy: State Policy and Civic Action Report from 2007 International Conference 6/2008
What is the relationship between public memorialization and other mechanisms of transitional justice? Do memorials have a limited life span? What design decisions can help give them a longer life? Shouldn’t memory discriminate when it comes to human rights and democratic values? These are a sample of the questions raised and discussed in a brand new report from the International Coalition of Sites of Conscience, International Center for Transitional Justice (ICTJ) and FLACSO-Chile. The report puts forth the first set of recommendations for national and international frameworks to support Sites of Conscience as developed by the 130 participants from 20 countries in the international conference “Memorialization and Democracy: State Policy and Civic Action” which the Coalition, with Villa Grimaldi Peace Park, hosted in June 2007 in Santiago, Chile.
