angry of the point of e.u. cotterell customs official from a from clear which was previously on the serbian control. ten thirty one pm here in moscow when times are hard heritage's it risk next to the un's head of protecting historical sites and relics tells us that r.t. was social upheaval is threatening the world's most valuable sites right now. you know bocal the you know secretary general it's really great to have you with us and i don't know over two centuries ago george byron reflected and asked and saluting you would think that two centuries later and twenty first century is 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 very wrecked the comparison says the danger of thing but let me first say that the overall concept the feeling of the necessity to preserve culture. of course it's an old one but at the same time it has the need to have you know reading and meaning so i believe we are very successful on the whole of course you mentioned something. very important from their approach of we see conflicts we see internal. we see. very often. such monuments which are on the world carried picture least or even important monuments we try not to see it on the world. are being affected by the 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 a libya just because it's on everybody's mind right now do you know this for us because sites there have been damaged or bombed from the very first day man for so is this some of the conflict i have raunch the appeals to all the involved parties . i have spoken. then that to nato i care spoken also to be to believe me and so i have appealed to the libyan people. to preserve this moment you know after the. tenth of the conflict we will be sending commissions there but there is another respect also inside train such cases which i think is important apart from their meeting monuments. as an aftermath of of such a conflict it's another tendencies emerging and another i would say very

unfortunate it's maddening i will get to that later but i really want to ask you. after something like this happens one joined a call flaked cultural heritage is destroyed or damaged does anyone answer for that is anyone persecuted for that afterwards i could have to say that situations have 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 and this is the democratic republic of congo where we have for their children parks which i described on the world heritage list and in fact they represent an incredible important also. means of securing by have diversity and play a huge role in the climate change. there even after and i'm talking

particularly of the view i'm going to park early to see in the east part of the country where most of the violence and civil war was waged in the now i hope the situation is of course improving and we could be in the pealing for a long time to the government when they say we. i mean the world heritage committee and also me is that the general to the government will take concrete measures and i'll find that he does change very together with the prime minister at the very bottom. we drafted the joint plan for preserving safeguarding of this important than parker gold the concrete measures of doing decreasing violence for. educating some of the warriors who were there participating combat educating them and giving them the feeling that

preserving it's very important for peace for their own interests to try to interest to reintegrate them in society it's a very complex issue that's why i say that to situations have different and i know that you and you know it's going general always appeals to protect the cultural heritage different countries but just organization actually has to mean its or the arsenal to do it to protect it we don't have we have not because we don't have a book casks or something like that but in very many cases so similar cases and. let me just mention haiti because it's a different there but it's once again a natural disaster to be pretty worse effect on the world heritage we work with the partners their power on the few who are in fact intrusted with the practical day to day i would say business of per securing. the order and the record structure in a particular country you've mentioned another huge problem which is smuggling

antiquities now some estimates have it that the turnover from smuggling antiquities is almost as big as track trafficking human trafficking and arson arms sales is that really the case you're entirely right that the trafficking good for objects of . unfortunately nowadays equals the trafficking of for human beings. drax and it's a very alarming new tendency a 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 in the school convention on the prohibiting the ability to trafficking of cultural objects it's important to secure more ratifications 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 represent the biggest

markets open or cultural objects like belgium and the netherlands so i have read the fight to the convention literally a year ago we are cooperating fully with the. new also phenomenon with some of the big houses i personally visited recently the headquarters of. christie's and we decided to start the cooperation in terms of capacity building of sense of sensitizing the public opinion and all the stakeholders we work with the of course we've been there paul the international customs union and i believe that encouraging the international cooperation them of countries by concrete examples of returning said objects of. i have fall so personally assisted a very moving ceremony when kennedy returned to my country of origin by getting

twenty one thousand objects exported from the country to can the debt and this return this corporation was based on ninety seven to mescal convention there was no other legal way of for doing get value out that major auction houses have been very responsive to your appeal question remains who are the smugglers and where. people who by those objects well i mean the smugglers are. the same so are the same smuggler set up doing the smuggling of arms. of human beings and otherwise unfortunately all the illegal trafficking is the most i would say call but i stand there always people on both sides of the who are doing that but the important thing is for the countries. of origin to have the means and the knowledge and the capacity to curb this smuggling in on the other side also

ethics 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 vet fix. 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 legislation to have the respective. interaction 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 drug seeking and smuggling antiquities 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 his longest there is such an interest in that that there might be only yes what do you think is the

money from sales use for it could be used to finance new wars for instance yes i mean like all the go out there smuggling it's corruption. of course it's also a conflict it's it's horse it's all different kinds of illegal activities but what is most important is the. deprives the whole country of their heritage it deprives people up for their identity. after all day they are all from their identity and has that i would say a long term perspective on the feelings and culture in these countries you can crawl away. trucks you can throw away weapons somewhere but you can't return and what is lost in terms of carried kitchen left. you can then find a substitute to buy something for these countries thank you very much for this

interview thank you also for this interest.
