THE CONSERVATION AND PROMOTION OF THE 'CULTURAL HERITAGE OF MANKIND': WHICH OBLIGATIONS UNDER INTERNATIONAL LAW?
type: CreativeWork
description: The research consists in an international law-based analysis which, focusing on the issue of determining the obligations set up, notably, by the United Nations, towards the protection of the ‘cultural heritage of mankind’ pending on the international community, approaches the enhancement of the human right to culture in an intergenerational and sustainable-led perspective. In detail, the research consists in a study of the current international framework for the worldwide protection of cultural heritage put in place, notably, under the aegis of UNESCO, and applicable to States Parties both in peace time and in war. In this sense, the research tries, first of all, to reconstruct the existing international norm set established, notably, by United Nations and UNESCO, for the international protection of the cultural heritage of peoples, thereby focusing on the analysis of the obligations pending on the international community according to such a norm set. In this view, the analysis aims at the study of the scope and features of such existing duties pending on States Parties with regard to the protection of the world’s cultural goods and sites according to UNESCO both in peace time and in war, focusing, notably, on the provisions of the UNESCO 1954 Hague Convention and of the UNESCO 1972 World Heritage Convention. In particular, the research concentrates on the international framework established by the global community for the worldwide protection of cultural heritage possibly endangered in times of peace, and, notably, by intentional destruction – this, even more, in view of the several recent episodes of ‘iconoclastic propaganda’ which have been occurring, since the first decade of 2000s, in many areas of the globe. In line with the interdisciplinary approach at the core of the Ph.D. Programme, the above-mentioned current UNESCO framework is approached through the means of an integrated perspective, and, notably, through the lens of anthropological studies – and, in p…
