Abstract

Founded in 1996, today, the Blue Shield Movement works around the world to protect all types of threatened cultural heritage in conflict, but also in crisis, unrest, and following disaster. This anniversary is an opportunity to raise awareness about the Convention and its obligations, to push for ratification in countries which are not yet party to these vital laws, and to showcase the work and importance of the Blue Shield Movement as we reflect on 70 years of successes and challenges of the Convention, and look towards the future.This Information Pack is aimed at Blue Shield National Committees, but contains information anyone interested in the history of the Convention will find useful. It provides information about the 1954 Hague Convention and its Protocols – what they are, and why they matter? How are they linked to the Blue Shield? What are the obligations on States Parties to help protect heritage in conflict?
