This book aims to determine UNESCO's capability to facilitate
heritage protection measures pre-conflict, emergency response
measures during conflict and reconstruction efforts post-conflict.
The book employs document analysis to ascertain UNESCO's legal
obligations when it comes to facilitating cultural heritage
protection in its Member States' territories in the condition of
armed conflict, while drawing comparisons with the reality of the
organisation's presence and involvement in Yemen, Syria and Iraq.
This study maps shifts in UNESCO's level of communication with each
country's respective government and civil authorities; allocation
of financial, human and material resources; and implementation of
heritage safeguarding and reconstruction initiatives. Both
quantitative and qualitative data shows UNESCO to exhibit great
inequity in engagement, at times, closing communications entirely
with Syria, due to the political standpoints of other UNESCO Member
States. This political gridlock is often shown to result in the
organisation overstating its ability to safeguard or restore
heritage, with promises not being followed up with action. Since
2015, UNESCO has expressed a stronger intent to be a key player in
heritage protection during armed conflict, however as long as
cultural heritage protection is not considered a humanitarian
concern, UNESCO will not be able to circumvent much of the
political and bureaucratic barriers facing intergovernmental
organisations during conflict, which prevent emergency action from
being implemented. In order to ensure heritage safeguarding is
permitted during periods of significant unrest, regardless of
political discord, it is crucial that UNESCO promote a
people-centred approach to its cultural heritage protection
initiatives. This book evidences that focusing on livelihoods and
meaningful and practical connections between populations and their
local heritage to be UNESCO's optimal methodological approach for
justifying cultural heritage protection as a humanitarian
necessity. The book's readership includes academics, researchers,
and practitioners in the fields of political science, law and
heritage studies.
