In armed conflicts around the world, including the ongoing Israel-Hamas and Russia-Ukraine; the impermissible targeting of cultural properties and religious sites has resulted in their destruction as well as the killing and maiming of innocents. Protecting cultural property during war is crucial for preserving humanity's heritage and identity. International humanitarian law, particularly the 1954 Hague Convention for the Protection of Cultural Property in the Event of Armed Conflict, provides a legal framework to safeguard cultural assets such as monuments, artworks, and religious sites. This convention mandates that all feasible measures be taken to protect cultural property from destruction or theft and requires warring parties to refrain from using such sites for military purposes.
