In the initiative's final conference, "The War through its Memorials," UMAM D&R and the International Center for Transitional Justice invited Lauren Segal, author and expert in curating heritage sites with extensive experience in South Africa, to speak about the role of memorials in addressing legacies of abuse and helping implement transitional justice.

In countries around the world there are memorials, statues, and special sites that commemorate previous atrocities or war crimes, serving as a place people can go for reflection and remembrance. In Lebanon, however, memorial sites are hard to find.

Panel and group discussions focused on Lebanon's memory gap and how the country might better restructure its collective memory. Debate also centered on individual versus national memories and the ways in which these types of memories are shared and expressed, especially in a country that has not yet come to terms with some of its most bloody periods in history.
