Recenzje

A vital contribution to the emerging intersection of heritage, security and international law, this volume is highly relevant to the increasing level of conflict surrounding cultural heritage at home and abroad. This impressive interdisciplinary set of contributions from leading scholars tackles the difficult moral, legal and political issues and the array of actors involved, from international organizations and state authorities to non-state actors. A timely and ethical intervention.
