ICH and armed conflicts
April 7th 2025 14.00 CET
In cooperation with NAKS Suriname, the Norwegian Crafts Institute and the Persian Garden Institute for Living Heritage, NGOs accredited to UNESCO, #HeritageAlive is organising an online conference with the presentation of case studies from NGOs operating in the regions concerned.
Unfortunately, the subject of this meeting is a very urgent one nowadays with conflict situations in many countries during 2024, and large numbers of people internally and externally being displaced. Therefore, there are several current examples of how war and other conflicts could have huge impact on ICH and its bearers. At the same time, we have witnessed how ICH could play an important and crucial role during armed conflicts. With its focus on the role of NGOs in safeguarding ICH in armed conflicts, the webinar will also share reflections and experiences and combine these in a proposal providing recommendations on how the legal framework for safeguarding ICH in armed conflict situations could be applied more effectively.
