The Regime for Protecting Cultural Property during Armed Conflicts: An Analysis of the Historical Development

This research deals with the historical development of the regime for protecting cultural properties during armedconflicts. The historical development is addressed in three sections: The first section explains the process fromantiquity through the 18th century in light of the views that form the philosophical background of the regime.The second section discusses the initial tangible efforts which appeared in the 19th century with regard to theestablishment of customary law, while the third section handles the 20th century endeavors in terms of thecodification of the regime. The research has shown that, throughout history cultural property has been open forstrategic use, efforts for protecting it accelerated particularly after great wars and codification efforts improved asa reaction to big damages stemming from changing nature of armed conflicts. These findings may be interpretedas indicating that today’s protection efforts are bound to be insufficient for the future strategic uses of culturalproperty that are unpredictable from today’s vantage point.
