الملخص EN

Human heritage and historical monuments, including religious and cultural places constitute a human and a cultural value that concerns all humanity, whether it is represented by the current or future generations, regardless of their number and the regions where they will live.

Hence, the protection of this cultural, religious and civilizational diversity of a material or intangible character constitutes a right for future generations that prohibits armies of states and individual individuals and groups from harming, destroying, or exposing them to danger, and it became certain that the crimes against future generations is a sign of a new awareness of responsibility for the future.

This helps to rethink the concept of crimes against humanity and future generations.

This paper aims to demonstrate the cognitive structure on which its foundation is based, in way that recognize for the future generations to enjoy these rights, and to demonstrate a judicial precedent issued by the International Criminal Court (ICC) that embodied this cognitive structure in the judicial practise.

The Mahdi's decision of the ICC is historic, because for the first time an International Criminal Court rendered a judicial decision considers the attacks against a cultural and religious property constitute crimes against humanity
