SUMMARY:I Conference Culture and Heritage at War
DESCRIPTION:DescriptionProgrammeConclusionsDocumentsVideosDescriptionThe first half of the twentieth century in Europe was characterized by the two great world wars and their effects on the population and a significant destruction of cultural heritage. This context influenced the personal and artistic trajectory of Pau Casals\, who understood that music could not remain on the sidelines of the problems of people and life. \nThe constitution of the United Nations and multilateralism opened the doors to dialogue between countries to build a better future. The 1954 Convention for the Protection of Cultural Property in the Event of Armed Conflict opened a new stage that\, with the support of UNESCO\, advanced to consider cultural heritage as an asset of humanity. \nDespite this reference in international law\, unfortunately\, some violations stand out\, such as in the Balkan conflict (1991)\, the Bamiyan Buddhas (2001)\, the Iraq war (2003) or the Syrian civil war (2011)\, among other infractions. These events have mobilized global awareness of the need for effective heritage protection in the event of armed conflicts. Led by UNESCO\, which at the 2015 Conference reinforced its action in this field with a new strategy of international cooperation between states\, to prevent the material destruction and the denunciation of the illegitimate trafficking of works of art. \nAt present\, the war in Ukraine shows us the lack of respect for cultural heritage and infrastructures\, which obliges us to update our thinking on the subject and to encourage greater involvement of cultural agents in the protection of world heritage as a sign of solidarity. \nWithin this framework\, this first conference is convened with the following objectives: \n\nTo emphasize the importance of the defence of human and cultural rights in current war conflicts.\nTo recall international conventions and agreements related to the deliberate destruction of culture as a weapon of war.\nTo reflect on the commitment of the international community.\nTo encourage international solidarity for the cultural reconstruction of countries that have suffered war or conflict.\n\n– Check the dossier “Protect cultural property in the event of armed conflict” published by UNESCO.Programme\nMORNING\n10-10.30 am Inauguration.\nWith the participation of: \n– Narcís Serra\, vice-president of the Pau Casals Foundation.\n– Joan Fuster-Sobrepere\, co-director of the Chair and director of the UOC’s Arts and Humanities department.\n– Jordi Pardo\, director of the Pau Casals Foundation. \n10.30 -11:15 am Speech 1\n– “The importance of protecting cultural heritage in contemporary armed conflicts”.

Throughout the presentations and discussions\, various contributions to be considered were expressed. \nThe need to relate the intentional destruction of heritage to cultural rights was raised\, in accordance with the report of the United Nations expert. We must bear in mind that war also destroys the cultural life of the population who cannot exercise their right to participate freely. In some cases\, conflict can descend into a kind of cultural cleansing\, attempting to deny the values of the other with little respect for diversity. \nThe defence of cultural rights and the cultural dimension of human rights as a whole\, in these war contexts\, is considered a necessary approach\, as well as the relationship with the 2030 Agenda\, which in its SDG 16 proposes to promote peaceful and inclusive societies\, and access to justice for all. \nThe different interventions proposed a vision of integral cultural heritage\, understood as the conjunction of immovable\, intangible and natural heritage\, according to the latest definitions\, and respect for cultural diversity. This perspective recognizes that the cultural destruction of war goes beyond historic buildings and affects the proper functioning of facilities\, events\, festivals and cultural traditions and the organization of collective cultural life. \nIn view of the situation we are living\, in Ukraine\, but also in other places\, it is considered essential to give visibility to the destruction of cultural heritage by trying to get the media to echo these aspects that are often hidden. \nWe propose that the different cultural agents and actors mobilize for the dissemination and commitment to this cause and respect for other cultures. And that the different cultural spheres and expressive languages contribute with their visions and representations of this global conflict. \nEncourage international solidarity for the cultural reconstruction of countries that have suffered war or conflict through international development cooperation agencies. Study the possibility of creating specific aid funds (such as humanitarian aid) for emergency and prevention purposes and for the protection of personnel defending the heritage. \nMaintain constant observation of the realities in which these rights are violated in order to communicate them in general and to complement media reports with data on the impact of wars on culture. In the same way\, we should encourage the collection of information and documentation on the effects of the war on cultural heritage as an exercise of memory and for future processes. \nConsult the complete conclusions of the conferenceDocumentsConclusions of the Conference\, Octubre 27\, 2022 \nPresentation by Isber Sabrine\, Syrian archaeologist president of Heritage for peace \nPresentation by Glòria Munilla\, Professor of Historical and Archaeological Heritage at the UOC \nDossier “Protect cultural property in the event of armed conflicts” elaborat per la UNESCOVideos\nVideos of the Conference “Culture and Heritage at War”\n\n1.- Inauguration\n\n2.- Speech Jesús Prieto de Pedro\n\n3.- Speech Jan Hladík\n\n4.- Round table “Destruction of heritage in war”\n\n5.- Speech by Josep A.
