الحماية الدولية للتراث الثقافي في القانون الدولي

Abstract EN

The protection of cultural property, places of worship and antiquities that constitute the moral basis of man, because of their connection with man as a spiritual entity for him, and there is a correlation between man's exercise of freedom of belief and religion and the existence of religious and historical places for the purposes of this practice, and thus resulted in these places having a special sanctity that must be maintained and the necessary protection provided most of the cultural property is subject in peacetime to the general rules stipulated in the internal laws, and the state usually releases the freedom to practice faith in those places without any restriction.

internal constitutions derive this protection and legal basis from international charters and declarations, and if the protection of cultural property is obligatory during peace, it is more stringent during armed conflicts, whether international or internal, as a result of the risks that they may be exposed to in these circumstances.

despite the availability of internal and international legal texts that protecting cultural property, it remains without value unless it finds mechanisms that support its implementation.
