It is notable that the provisions of the World Heritage Convention clearly operate in both peacetime and during armed conflict. State Parties are required to take measure to protect their World Heritage, and Article 6.3 also calls on them:
The World Heritage Convention encourages the identification, protection and preservation of cultural and natural heritage around the world considered to be of outstanding value to humanity. It:
The Convention also lays out a management framework of oversight by and support from the World Heritage Committee.
Sites which are at risk from conflict, illegal development, or other threats can be placed on the List of World Heritage in Danger.

Although it is extremely rare, a site can be removed from the World Heritage list if the threats increase and are not reduced.
It is notable that the provisions of the World Heritage Convention clearly operate in both peacetime and during armed conflict. State Parties are required to take measure to protect their World Heritage, and Article 6.3 also calls on them:
not to take any deliberate measures which might damage directly or indirectly the cultural and natural heritage referred to in Articles 1 and 2 situated on the territory of other States Parties to this Convention.
World Heritage is often equated with the concept of “cultural property of the greatest importance for humanity” in the 1999 Second Protocol to the 1954 Hague Convention for the Protection of Cultural Property in the Event of Armed Conflict. To date, only World Heritage sites have been inscribed on the list for Enhanced Protection, although there are strong arguments for inscribing other sites. (Read more about Enhanced Protection).
World Heritage is indicated by a distinctive emblem.
The emblem’s use is strictly regulated and determined by the World Heritage Committee, with guidelines for its use defined in Chapter VIII and Annex 14 of the Operational Guidelines. It is protected under the international World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) Act.
The emblem, Operational Guidelines and conditions of use are available on UNESCOs website.
