Cultural heritage and human rights

We have chosen to only include open access articles and papers here on general themes, rather than articles on focused topics, although there is a large body of research literature on this topic. These papers provide some of the most recent think tank work to complement our law library section on this topic. However, this is a relatively new topic, and there is currently very little information available, particularly with regards to cultural heritage destruction and human rights.

Inclusion does not indicate endorsement by the Blue Shield of the views and opinions in them.
