Memorandum of Understanding with the City of Sarajevo

On June 6, the Auschwitz Institute for the Prevention of Genocide and Mass Atrocities (AIPG) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the City of Sarajevo. This MOU establishes a collaborative framework between the two institutional partners, focusing on developing joint activities and projects centered around education, transitional justice, memorialization, and other pertinent themes associated with preventing genocide and other mass atrocities. Dr. Gabriela Ghindea, AIPG's Director of Mediterranean Basin Programs, joined Dr. Benjamina Karić, Mayor of Sarajevo, for a signing ceremony held at the City Hall to officially announce this significant alliance.

During the visit to Sarajevo City Hall (Vijećnica), AIPG’s delegation also had the opportunity to explore the permanent exhibition at the Information Centre on the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY). Housed on the ground floor of the building, the Center preserves an extraordinary archive of evidence, including documents, photos, and testimonies from the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina (1992- 1995). This collection is an invaluable resource for education, remembrance, justice, and prevention efforts.

Dr. Gabriela Ghindea remarked on her satisfaction with the signing of the agreement:

“We are honored and delighted to have entered this partnership in education with the City of Sarajevo and are looking forward to filling the framework of our MOU with meaningful joint projects.
I believe that Vijećnica's "power of place" as a symbol of a cosmopolitan and resilient Sarajevo, as well as ICTY Informational Centre's crucial work are sources of inspiration and valuable resources for manifold initiatives aiming to prevent further atrocities.” 

El 6 de junio, el Instituto Auschwitz para la Prevención del Genocidio y las Atrocidades Masivas (AIPG) firmó un Memorando de Entendimiento con la ciudad de Sarajevo. Este MOU establece un marco de colaboración entre los dos socios institucionales, centrándose en el desarrollo de actividades y proyectos conjuntos centrados en la educación, la justicia transicional, la conmemoración y otros temas pertinentes relacionados con la prevención del genocidio y otras atrocidades masivas. La Dra. Gabriela Ghindea, Directora de Programas para la Cuenca del Mediterráneo de AIPG, se unió a la Dra. Benjamina Karić, Alcaldesa de Sarajevo, en una ceremonia de firma celebrada en el Ayuntamiento para anunciar oficialmente esta importante alianza.

Durante la visita al Ayuntamiento de Sarajevo (Vijećnica), la delegación de AIPG también tuvo la oportunidad de explorar la exposición permanente en el Centro de Información sobre el Tribunal Penal Internacional para la ex Yugoslavia (TPIY). Ubicado en la planta baja del edificio, el Centro conserva un extraordinario archivo de pruebas, incluidos documentos, fotos y testimonios de la guerra de Bosnia y Herzegovina (1992- 1995). Esta colección es un recurso inestimable para la educación, el recuerdo, la justicia y los esfuerzos de prevención.

Dr. Gabriela Ghindea remarked on her satisfaction with the signing of the agreement:

"Nos sentimos honrados y encantados de haber iniciado esta asociación en materia de educación con la ciudad de Sarajevo y estamos deseando llenar el marco de nuestro Memorando de Entendimiento con proyectos conjuntos significativos.
Creo que el "poder del lugar" de Vijećnica como símbolo de una Sarajevo cosmopolita y resiliente, así como la labor crucial del Centro de Información del TPIY son fuentes de inspiración y valiosos recursos para múltiples iniciativas destinadas a prevenir nuevas atrocidades."
