Destroying Cultural Heritage
Explosive Weapons’ Effects in Armed Conflict and Measures to Strengthen Protection #HumanRightsWatch
#CulturalHeritage #War #ArmedConflict
“This report examines the connections between the use of explosive weapons in populated areas and damage to and destruction of cultural heritage. It aims to increase awareness of the specific impacts of explosive weapons on cultural heritage and, by extension, civilians. It also offers recommendations for using the recently endorsed Declaration to better protect cultural heritage. While this report focuses on the Declaration as a tool to enhance safeguards within populated areas, cultural heritage should receive comparable protection from explosive weapons wherever it is found.”
