UNESCO Urges Heritage Law Respect After Cambodian-Thai Clashes
PHNOM PENH - UNESCO has praised the ceasefire between Cambodia and Thailand for safeguarding cultural heritage, calling on both countries to adhere to their obligations and commitment to uphold international law.
In an official statement released two days after the ceasefire truce, UNESCO says it has initiated the use of satellite imagery for the monitoring of cultural heritage sites.
"According to available information, the hostilities may have caused damage to cultural heritage in both countries, including some UNESCO World Heritage sites," the organization says.
UNESCO is prepared to offer technical assistance to safeguard sites, assess potential damage, and implement necessary safeguarding measures.
It emphasizes the importance of respecting international law, particularly the 1954 Hague Convention for the Protection of Cultural Heritage in Armed Conflict and the 1972 Convention for the Protection of World Cultural and Natural Heritage.
