La acción concertada de la Comunidad Internacional para la protección del patrimonio cultural en conflictos armados: Mali como paradigma

Abstract

n Mali, for the first time ever, there has been a concerted and determined action of the International Community in order to protect the cultural heritage of a country under armed conflict: the Security Council, UNESCO and the International Criminal Court have shown their ability to answer the serious challenges that Humanity faces in this field; and have proved that, with political will and through common and coordinated action, the heritage of a people can be effectively protected, rebuilt and preserved, which amounts to protect, rebuild and preserve the identity of the people and, ultimately, peace itself.
