Abstract

Cultural property is always a victim during armed conflict. There is nothing that can be done about such damage and destruction, and humanitarian issues - saving people - is a far greater priority than saving old buildings, libraries, archives, and archeological sites. This paper highlights the work of the Blue Shield and heritage community to help to mitigate the impact of armed conflict on the remnants of our common past.
