The Protection of Cultural Property in the Event of Armed Conflict - Commentary on the Convention for the Protection of Cultural Property in the Event of Armed Conflict and Its Protocol, Signed on 14 May 1954 in the Hague and on Other Instruments of International Law Concerning Such Protection (Paperback)

A detailed analysis of the 1954 Hague convention for the Protection of Cultural Property in the Event of Armed Conflict. The author uses the materials that emerged from the preparatory work for the convention and took numerous examples from UNESCO's records about the application of the convention in conflicts over the last 40 years. He establishes parallels with other international legal instruments and puts forward ideas for a more general study of the protection of cultural property in the event of armed conflict and the legal and practical ways of achieving this.
