Samenvatting
The March 1999 Hague Diplomatic Conference on the Second Protocol to the 1954 Hague Convention for the Protection of Cultural Property in the Event of Armed Conflict ("the Convention"), convened jointly by the Government of the Netherlands and UNESCO, which resulted in the elaboration and adoption of this instrument, represents the culmination of a review of the Convention that has been underway since the beginning of this decade. The review pursued three principal goals: to adapt the Convention to the realities of contemporary armed conflicts, with emphasis on the protection of cultural heritage during non-international armed conflicts; to bridge gaps in the existing protection; and to draft a legal instrument that would reflect new developments in international humanitarian law since 1954, such as the adoption of the two additional protocols (1977) to the 1949 Geneva Conventions and of the International Convention for the Suppression of Terrorist Bombing (1997), as well as the establishment of a Statute for the International Criminal Court in 1998. |
