Vorwort
The destruction of cultural property inflicts serious harm upon individuals, society and the cultural heritage of the global community. It strikes at the heart of people and their communities, affecting them psychologically and emotionally. It undermines the trust, respect and tolerance, which are essential for life in a diverse society and world. It is divisive, claims superiority of one group over another and encourages dehumanisation. Such action can incite and increase hostility and hate, and possibly even escalate conflicts to extreme violence. The theft, looting and illicit trafficking of cultural property furthermore serve as additional drivers of conflict by fostering organised crime and being used as a lucrative source of income for armed groups.
