UNESCO, Cultural Heritage and Conflict in Yemen, Syria and Iraq

In the Springer Book Series 'Studies in Art, Heritage, Law and the Market', Joanne Dingwall McCafferty published the book “UNESCO, Cultural Heritage and Conflict in Yemen, Syria and Iraq”which provides a comprehensive legal analysis of UNESCO's responsibility to protect heritage during conflict.

This book aims to determine UNESCO's capability to facilitate heritage protection measures pre-conflict, emergency response measures during conflict and reconstruction efforts post-conflict. The book employs document analysis to ascertain UNESCO's legal obligations when it comes to facilitating cultural heritage protection in its Member States' territories in the condition of armed conflict, while drawing comparisons with the reality of the organisation's presence and involvement in Yemen, Syria and Iraq.
