Contribution to European Parliament Report

Protecting cultural heritage from armed conflicts in Ukraine and beyond

Today, the European Parliament published a Report on Protecting cultural heritage from armed conflicts in Ukraine and beyond for which many stakeholders were interviewed to identify good practices and gaps in the ways cultural heritage is being protected in Ukraine. In addition to detailing the legal and policy frameworks applicable to the protection of cultural heritage from the ongoing armed conflict in Ukraine, the Report also looks back at past conflicts to provide some lessons learnt in terms of what works and what does not work with regard to heritage protection and rehabilitation, in particular in post-conflict transitional contexts.

BIICL contributors to this Report included  Kristin Hausler , Elke Selter  and Kateryna Busol.
