ISMAILI CENTRE LONDON – 27 October 2015 — UNESCO Director-General Irina Bokova spoke at the Ismaili Centre, London today on the challenges of protecting cultural heritage in times of conflict.
When “attacks are carried out by extremists against cultural heritage, in fact these are attacks against the communities,” said the UNESCO Director-General. They are “attacks against all of us, about the humanity we all share.”
The event was part of the Forum for New Diplomacy, a joint initiative of the Académie Diplomatique Internationale and the International New York Times that engages leading figures in politics, business and civil society in discussion on emerging dynamics and challenges in global affairs.
