This threat is particularly evident in war and conflic t zones\, where cultural heritage is deliberately destroyed or falls victi m to military conflicts. Here\, it is not just a question of preserving sp ecial cultural assets\, but of protecting the identity of people and commu nities. Neighboring countries and the international community also bear th is responsibility\, because it is about identity and continuity of societi es. The protection of cultural heritage and self-image is considered a cen tral component of reconciliation\, peacekeeping and shared memory.
