Résumé en anglais

The destruction of the famous Buddha statues of Bamiyan, condemned world-wide, could not be prevented despite appeals by UNESCO and ICOMOS. This incredible act of vandalism points like a beacon at the various risks and threats with which our cultural heritage is still confronted, even after the end of a century of terrible destructions, Consequently, the ICOMOS report for the year 2001 once again contains a whole range of acts of barbarity, such as the demolition of the stele of Metera in Eritrea and the devastation of the prehistoric sanctuary of Mnajdra in Malta. The new ICOMOS World Report 2001/2002 on Monuments and Sites in Danger, with reports from more than 60 countries, complements last year's World Report, which was the first of its kind and received considerable recognition, not only among colleagues but also in the public media of many countries.(...) Once again the report was produced by a Taskforce of members from Australia, Canada and Germany, as well as by an enlarged editorial board. It well illustrates that the situation is still highly critical for numerous monu¬ments and sites in many regions of the world. Nevertheless, there are cases where the protection of monuments can be successful. In some situations the Heritage at Risk Report has already proven to be a useful instrument for defending threatened monuments. Hav¬ing information about the potential dangers to our cultural heritage is immediately an advantage and a step in the right direction, as only those monuments and sites that are recognised and recorded as such can he protected with legal means. And in order to provide help in the case of risk there is first a need for world-wide information about the dangers that are threatening our monuments. [From the introduction by Michael Petzet]
