Cultural
heritage and diversity has always been interesting to me, so when I went to the
UNESCO site I was drawn to their culture tab.
I was really surprised to learn that the UNESCO concerns for culture go
deeper than just making sure that each one is properly honored. There are articles and links that discuss safeguarding
the intangible parts of heritage, how to fight against the illegal trafficking
of cultural property and how to protect cultural property in the event of an
armed conflict. These were issues I had
not considered at this point but ones that are very important for the integrity
of our cultural heritage.

Denise,
ReplyDeleteI too studied UNESCO; however, I did not get to explore the cultural documents as much as I would have liked to. I will go back and explore a little further.
