International Webinar on “Strategies for Cultural Property Protection” on January 31, 2022 at 4:00 PM via Microsoft Teams
Strategies for Cultural Property Protection
This vitally important webinar aims to cover the strategies for the protection of archaeological sites and historic buildings in zones of conflict or otherwise. The speaker believes that the cultural heritage once destroyed cannot simply be rebuilt having the same original pristine image.
Through this session, the resource person makes a vivid case for the role of respect for the past in mitigating hostility and so winning the peace as well as aiding the victory, and guides us through the forest of players. Agencies so numerous, so obscure and so often ineffective might prompt the response ‘a plague on all your acronyms’.
All the more important, then, is that the speaker and his associates advocate to continue their campaign and wish to be supported by everyone who believes that cultural property has a value that lies beyond sectional interests.
Peter Stone is the UNESCO Chair in Cultural Property Protection and Peace at Newcastle University (UK) and President of the Blue Shield (https://theblueshield.org/). He has published widely on heritage management, interpretation, and education. Peter was Honorary Chief Executive Officer of the World Archaeological Congress (1998-2008). He was previously Head of the School of Arts and Cultures and Professor of Heritage Studies in the International Centre for Cultural and Heritage Studies at Newcastle University. Before joining the University in 1997 he had worked for English Heritage, as a field archaeologist, and history teacher.
Since 2003 his work has focussed on the protection of cultural property in armed conflict and following natural or human-made disasters. He has written extensively on this topic including co-editing, with Joanne Farchakh Bajjaly, The Destruction of Cultural Heritage in Iraq (2008) and editing Cultural Heritage, Ethics and the Military (2011). His article ‘The 4 Tier approach’ in the British Army Review led directly to the establishment of the Cultural Property Protection Unit in UK forces.
