so you would think that two centuries later and twenty first centuries because we think we're more civilized things are better but are they really better for instance in egypt or libya i would say definitely much much better of course a very direct comparison says the danger of thing but let me first say that the overall concept of the feeling of the necessity to preserve and culture. of course it's an old one but at the same time we have the need to have you know reading and needing so i believe we are very successful on the whole of course you mentioned something also very. approach in the plea we see conflicts we see internal try. we see. very often. such monuments which are on the wall carry picture east or even

important monuments which are not desired from the world heritage are being affected by they destroyed or damaged or there are some disputes and of course it's only deplorable that this is happening now or to really want to accentuate alleviate just because it's on everybody's mind right now do you know if you ask the sites there have been damaged or bombed from the very first a sample size they say of the conflict i have launched appeals to all the involved parties. i have spoken and. then the attorney to a wife has spoken also to the to believe me and so i have appealed to believe in people. to preserve this monument you know after the. times of the conflict will be sending commissions there but there is another aspect also in situations such cases which i think is important apart from that meeting

among humans. as an aftermath of of such a conflict it's another tendencies emerging and another i would say very unfortunate it's mostly i will get to that later but i really want to ask you. after something like this happens one try to call flaked cultural heritage is destroyed or damaged any one answer for that is only persecuted for that afterwards i could say that situations are very different. situations for example in some of the african countries affected by conflict there let me take to give you another example of a similar case but rather from some of the mystic point of view of domestic social strife or civil war in fact this is the democratic republic of congo where we have four parts we try to describe the world heritage listed in fact they represent an

incredible important also. means of securing a bradley versity and really a coup trolling the climate change. there even after and i'm talking particularly of the view to international park which is seen the east part of the country where most of the violence and civil war was waged in the now i hold the sea trace and it's of course improving and we could be in the painting for a long time for the government when they say we. i mean the world heritage committee and also me as director general of the government will take a great measure and now finally these january i together with the prime minister at the very brought them to a conference in kinshasa we drafted a drawing plan for preserving of safeguarding this important part the goal of the concrete measures of doing decreasing by one step for. educating

some of the war yes they're participating in that educating them and giving them the feeling that preserving it's very important that these for their own interests to train tracks to reintegrate them in society it's a very complex issue that's why i say that to situations have different i don't think you and your school in general always appeals to protect the cultural heritage different countries but just organisation actually has to mean for the arsenal to do it to protect it. because we don't have a blue casks or something like that should do it but in very many cases of similar cases and in this surplus i let me just mention haiti because it's a different there but it's once again and it's a disaster to be ready or worse effect on the world heritage we were part of those there are on the few. who are in fact in trusted we'd be practical

day to day with a business of play securing. the order and the record structure in a particular country you've mentioned another huge problem which is smuggling in tikrit it's now some estimates have it up it turned over from smuggling antiquities is almost as big as track trafficking human trafficking and arson arms sales is that really the case if you're entirely right that the trafficking there for objects of power unfortunately now is a sequel's of the traffic for them and being so. drax and it's a very alarming new tendency of situation that we're seeing all over the world. and that's why we are very much committed to strengthening the international cooperation through the one nine hundred seventy s. to convention on the prohibiting of illicit trafficking of cultural objects it's important to secure more education to this convention nowadays we have more than

one hundred twenty countries that have it here to this convention and there are positive tendencies in the international corporation these last two years some of the countries that are present the biggest markets open or cultural objects like belgium and the netherlands so i have read the freight convention literally a year ago a record breaking heat the. new also going on in them with some of the because actual houses i personally visited recently the headquarters. for christie's and we decided to start the corporation in terms of capacity building of sense of st sensitizing the public opinion all the stakeholders we work with the of course we've been proposed we'd be international customs union and i believe that encouraging the international co-operation of of countries by concrete examples of returning such objects of art. i care for also personally

assisted a very moving ceremony when kennedy returned to my country of origin by getting twenty one thousand objects illicit cakes called him from the country to canada and this return this corporation was based on ninety seven k.m.'s the conventional there was no other legal rare for doing it well use out that major auction houses have been very responsive to your appeal the question remains who are the smugglers and why. those people who buy their stuff well i mean the smugglers are. the same so out of this a smuggler started doing the smuggling of arms. for human beings and otherwise unfortunately all of the illegal trafficking is the most i would take hold of i stand there are always people on both sides of this who are doing that but the important thing is for the countries. of origin to have the means and the only

and the capacity to curb this smuggling and on the other side also. takes to have the moral norms also all of the different parts to do it and not to do it in fact we have done that we have. drafted a called the better fix for the truth for the a trade that for cultural goods i think this is very important that it's taken on board by all the different and then of course the national registration for every respected. into the action of norms international legislations sold that then such smugglers have persecuted impunity in this case is a very bad signal to think there's a connection between arms sales taking and smuggling and to quit as well. i think yes we have read legacies in the reports and of course because these are

a big money as you said and. very valuable things and as long as there is such an interest in bets that there might be only yes what do you think is the money from sales use for it can be used to finance new wars for instance yes i mean like all the illegal smuggling it's corruption of course it's also conflicts it's it's horse it's all different kinds of illegal activity yes but what is most important is. deprives whole countries of the hairy keeps it deprives people up for their great tend to keep it after all the pay they they're brought from their identity pairs that i would say a long term perspective on the feelings and culture in these contexts you can throw away you can burn tracks you can throw away weapons somewhere which you can't

there and what these lost in terms of carry it's enough culture you can then find to stop security by something called base countries thank you very much for this interview thank you also for this interest. when one deals with war for us to realize that this tremendous amounts of damage that are done not just human damage but damage the physical environment in which the battlefield takes place tremendous amounts of damage done by aerial bombs by napalm boy chemicals that whether it's on a sonic boom six factory marine mammals or it's the burning oil fields or a rock or straw a coral reefs in the pacific for ramming purposes to list just goes on and on the

geneva conventions just nineteen forty nine states that there shall be saved in the war to protect the involved against god spring from long term and severe damage united states although it is accepted almost all of the provisions political has taken exception to that. like millions of americans have lost thousands of dollars and retired. and sons and i haven't had as bad as many that's not just about the them it's about needs to. say. geez.
