this man. 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 we have the need to have a new reading and meaning so i believe we are very successful on the whole of course you mentioned something also very important from that approach in the plea we see conflicts we see in terminal. we see. very often. such monuments which are on the wall carry picture east or even import

the 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 and to really want to accentuate alleviate 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 size this of the conflict i have launched appeals to all the involved parties. i have spoken . to nato i have spoken also to the to believe me and so i have appealed to believe in people. to preserve this monument you know after the i called the mean and the end of the conflict will be sending commissions there but there is another aspect also when so true in such cases which i think is important

apart from damaging monuments. as an aftermath of of such a conflict it's another tendencies emerging in another i would say very unfortunate it's muddling 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 is any one 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 and let me take give you another example of a similar case but rather from of domestic point of view of domestic social strife or civil war in fact this is the democratic republic of congo where we have four they troll parks which i described on the world heritage list and in fact they

represent an incredible important also. means of securing. the border city and players who are trolling the climate change. there even after and i'm talking particularly of the view that we're going to part only to see in the east part of the country where most of the violence and civil war was waged in the now i hold the situation is of course improving and we could be in the peeling 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 these change already together with the prime minister at the very important them. we drafted the joint plan for preserving safeguarding of this important than park with all the concrete measures of doing decreasing

violence for. educating some of the warrior who are there participating combat educating them and giving them the feeling that preserving it's very important that 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 we don't. we are not because we don't have a book casks or something like that it did it but in very many cases similar cases and indiscipline let me just mention haiti because it's a different there but it's once again natural disaster to be pretty worse effect on the world heritage we work with the partners that are on the few who are in fact

trusted with the practical day to day i would say business of per securing. the order and the record structure in the particular country you've mentioned another huge problem which is smuggling them to quit it's 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 power unfortunately nowadays equals the traffic you put him in being so. drax and it's a very alarming new tendency in a situation that we're seeing all over the world. and that's why we are very much committed to tool strengthening international cooperation through the one nine hundred seventy and the school convention on the prohibiting the ability of the 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 to fight the convention literally a year ago we are cooperating fully the it's and you also plan on going then with some of the big auction houses i personally visited recently the headquarters of this christie's and we decided to start the corporation in terms of capacity would think of sense of say a sensitizing the public opinion and all the stakeholders we work with the of course we've been there probably would be international customs union and i believe that encouraging the international cooperation them of countries by concrete

examples of returning such objects of. i have felt so personally assisted a very moving ceremony when kennedy returned to my country of origin of all get it twenty one thousand objects exported from the country to can the debt and this return this corporation was based on ninety seven thousand escrow 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 buy those objects well i mean the smugglers are. just saying so out of this a smuggler said i'm doing the smuggling of arms. for 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 called the countries. of origin to have the means and the only 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 very fix. 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 legislation to have the respective. introduction of norms international legislations sold that then such smugglers have prosecuted impunity in this case is a very bad signal if you think there is a connection between arms sales drug seeking and smuggling antiquities well.

i think yes we have read their lisey's 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 that that there might be only yes what do you think is the money from sales use for it could be used to finance mule 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 whole countries of their cherrypick it deprives people for their identity. after all they have robbed from their identity and i would say a long term perspective on the feelings and culture in these countries you can throw away you can burn tracks you can throw away weapons somewhere but you can't

return and what is lost in terms of the carried kitchen of culture you can then find to substitute to buy something for these countries thank you very much for this interview thank you also for this interest. like millions of americans i've lost thousands of dollars in retirement funds and i haven't had as bad as many it's not just about this it's about me to. me man brown. and.
