Cultural heritage policies a tool for development
In recent decades ‘the notion of “ culture” emerged as the fourth pillar of sustainable development’ (see e.g. Dallaire & Colbert 2012:7). Probably even more than other cultural expressions, cultural heritage is considered as a tool for sustainable development, certainly for the developing world. With this article we want to discuss the notion of sustainable development in the context of cultural heritage policies. Although international policies…
Commemoration of the Great War
During the First World War, people from all over the world were present in Flanders Fields. On the eve of the centenary of the Great War, it is striking that the war is not commemorated as strongly in every country that was involved. This article explores the specific national sensitivities related to the commemoration of the First World War and the reasons why some states commemorate it more strongly than others. The data for this article were o…
Culture for development’ and the Unesco policy on the protection of cultural property during armed conflict
UNESCO increasingly points to the value of culture for sustainable development. However, if we review UNESCO policies on the protection of cultural property in the event of armed conflict, developing countries do not seem to find access or implement them. Consequently, this paper analyses UNESCO initiatives related to the protection of cultural property in the event of armed conflict from a developmental perspective and explores whether they are …

During armed conflict, cultural property can be intentionally destroyed or looted. Despite the development of many preventive measures in recent decades, this phenomenon has not observably decreased. The literature on cultural property destruction during armed conflict fails to interpret this trend within a broader theoretical framework. Therefore, this article links the empirical knowledge on destruction of cultural property to contemporary theo…
Unesco and the protection of cultural property during armed conflict
Since the establishment of UNESCO, the organization has engaged in the protection of cultural property during armed conflict. Recently, however, an increased incidence of intentional cultural property destruction and looting has been observed during such conflicts. This article, therefore, evaluates UNESCO activities relating to the protection of cultural property during armed conflicts. It finds that the ineffectiveness of the measures employed …
Civil Society Action in the Field of Cultural Heritage
Cultural heritage policies are no longer the sole monopoly of sovereign states. Therefore, this article investigates the need for a European civil society in the field of cultural heritage according to the analysis of policy documents and published literature. The article finds that European policies in the field of cultural heritage before 1990 were oriented towards the formation of a common European identity. In the 1990s a paradigm shift emerg…
Peace Operations and the Protection of Cultural Property During and After Armed Conflict
Since armed conflicts are based increasingly on politics of identity, the protection of cultural property is likely to become continuously more important during peace operations. The extent to which peace operations are obligated to protect cultural property is, however, not always clear. This article explains why and to what extent peace operations ought to be required to protect cultural property. It first explores the way that the protection o…
