Summary
The chapter summarizes the book’s main findings, underscoring the reverberations of the research on the fields of transitional justice and cultural heritage law, and set out questions for future research in other contexts. It ties together the multiple strings of truth, accountability, reparations, and guarantees of non-repetition (the four key transitional justice mechanisms), and their relationship to heritage, as well as the influence of human rights on both transitional justice and cultural heritage law. Bringing together the fields of transitional justice and cultural heritage law creates powerful opportunities for pragmatically rebuilding societies, and cultural heritage is a part of reshaping identity for the future.
