Online resources: Cultural heritage has become increasingly 'conflict prone.' Today, systematic exploitation, manipulation, attacks, and destruction of cultural heritage by states and non-state actors form part of the most violent conflicts across the world. Such acts are often intentional and based on well-planned strategies for inflicting harm on groups of people and communities. We have therefore progressed from seeing conflict-related destruction of cultural heritage just as a 'cultural tragedy' to understanding it also as a 'security issue.' It is a shift from protecting cultural property from the harms of war for the sake of cultural property itself to viewing it as intricately connected to the broader peace and security agenda.
