The third meeting of the Committee for the Protection of Cultural Property in the Event of Armed Conflict

From 04-06-2008   to   06-06-2008
 (Paris - France) 

The third meeting of the Committee (UNESCO Headquarters, 4 – 6 June 2008) resulted in the elaboration of two chapters of the Draft Guidelines for the Implementation of the Second Protocol related to the dissemination of the Second Protocol and monitoring of its implementation.

The Committee decided to postpone considering the third draft chapter on international assistance because further considerations were necessary. As a consequence, the Committee decided that the Bureau pursue its informal work in order to develop further draft chapter on international assistance, including the consideration of the reference to the Fund by the end of January 2009.

The Committee also empowered the Bureau to prepare a plan of action for the next (fourth) meeting of the Committee, identifying and prioritizing actions needed for the international implementation of the Second Protocol.
