Closing ceremony
In 2024, UNESCO marks the 70th anniversary of the adoption of the Convention for the Protection of Cultural Property in the Event of Armed Conflict, the first international legal framework entirely dedicated to the protection of movable and immovable heritage.

On this occasion, UNESCO organizes the International Conference “Cultural Heritage and Peace: Building on 70 years of the Hague Convention” in The Hague on 13-15 May 2024, hosted by the Kingdom of the Netherlands.
Specialists involved in the protection of cultural property gather at the historical location of the signature of the Convention, to collectively reflect on the achievements, challenges and lessons learned in the implementation of this international normative instrument.

Protecting culture, whether during peacetime or an armed conflict, means safeguarding the memories of peoples and societies, and passing down the diverse fabric of humanity to the generations to come. Instruments such as the 1954 Convention contribute to building and cementing a foundation of peace.
UNESCO calls on the global community to join the pursuit for culture for all - wherever, whenever they may be.
