The Protection of Cultural Heritage in Armed Conflicts

Cilj rada „Zaštita kulturne baštine u oružanim sukobima“ je prikazati međunarodnopravni okvir koji se veže uz ovo pitanje i njegove probleme u samome provođenju. Taj okvir zadan je nizom međunarodnih ugovora, od kojih je najvažnija Haška konvencija za zaštitu kulturnih dobara u slučaju oružanog sukoba sa svoja dva protokola, a nastalim pod okriljem UNESCO-a. Također valja uzeti u obzir i Dopunski protokol I. uz Ženevske konvencije za zaštitu žrtava rata, osobito kada je riječ o međunarodnim oružanim sukobima. U radu ćemo se dotaknuti i Domovinskoga rata gdje ćemo spomenuti ključne značajke toga rata i štetu koja je nastala na kulturnoj baštini.The aim of the paper "Protecting Cultural Heritage in Armed Conflicts" is to outline the international legal framework that relates to this issue and its implementation problems. This framework is defined by a series of international treaties, the most important of which is the Hague Convention for the Protection of Cultural Property in the Event of Armed Conflict with its two protocols, created under the auspices of UNESCO. Consideration should also be given to Additional Protocol I to the Geneva Conventions for the Protection of Victims of War, especially when it comes to international armed conflicts. In the paper we will also speak about the Homeland War, where we will mention the key features of that war and the damage that has occurred on cultural heritage
