Armed Conflict and Cultural Heritage
Cultural Heritage and Conflict: Damage to the cultural property of any people is seen as "damage to the cultural heritage of all mankind" and therefore is assigned special protections in an armed conflict. However, conflict can endanger cultural heritage sites, some of which are deliberately targeted by parties to the conflict to demoralise the population, as has been seen in conflicts in Syria and Mali. This month's theme focuses on issues relating to the protection of cultural heritage during conflict, its preservation as a form of reconciliation and peacebuilding post-conflict, and the humanitarian imperative to protect cultural property.

Friend & colleague @J_T_Horowitz navigates the complexity of #cyberspace and the laws of war (#IHL) - who's protected when attacks move from cyber space to physical operations? Complex issues that States need to work on - with the help of this accessible but essential reading.
Can private employees lose protection from attack if they engaged in #cyber defense operations in #ArmedConflict? @J_T_Horowitz @ICRC_DC argues States should clarify how rules regulating the loss of civilian protection apply in #cyberspace. #IHL

Net zero cannot be a public relations exercise.
We need impact. And we need accountability.
