The protection of cultural property in armed conflict

"Charting in detail the evolution of the international rules on the protection of historic and artistic sites and objects from destruction and plunder in war, this book analyses in depth their many often-overlapping provisions. It serves as a comprehensive and balanced guide to a subject of increasing public profile, which will be of interest to academics, students and practitioners of international law and to all those concerned with preserving the cultural heritage."--Publisher's website.
