Founded in 1999, the International Coalition of Sites of Conscience (ICSC or “the Coalition”) is the only worldwide network of Sites of Conscience - historic sites, museums, and memory initiatives that use the past to address social justice issues today. With over 350 members in more than 65 countries, we build the capacity of these vital institutions through grants, networking, training, transitional justice mechanisms, and advocacy. These members and partners remember a variety of histories and come from a wide range of settings – including long-standing democracies, countries struggling with legacies of violence, as well as post-conflict contexts just beginning to address their transitional justice needs – but they are all united by their common commitment to use the lessons of the past to find innovative solutions to related social justice issues today. 

In 2014, we launched our Global Initiative for Justice, Truth and Reconciliation (GIJTR), a consortium of nine global organizations that works alongside communities to amplify the voices of survivors and inspire collective action in countries struggling to confront human rights violations. GIJTR has worked with partners in 72 countries, fostered over 240 grassroots projects and engaged more than 681 local civil society organizations in building capacities and laying the groundwork for community-wide participation in transitional justice processes.
