Résumé en anglais

Taking a historical perspective, the author shares some of his experience on the implementation of international instruments for the protection of cultural property in the event of armed conflict. Based on his past responsibility as a UNESCO staff in charge of the implementation the 1954 Hague Convention for the Protection of Cultural Property in the event of Armed Conflict from 1987 to 1998, he covers broadly the period from 1971 until the adoption of Protocol II to the Convention in 1999. He also briefly refers to latest normative developments, as a result of more recent destruction of cultural heritage in Afghanistan, in the Middle East and in Mali.
