Abstract
The destruction of cultural representation is not only structured by changing norms and values but also sanctioned by them. This chapter examines the viability of the existing international body of law in protecting cultural property during war. First, it highlights major international conventions on the protection of cultural property and how their rules may apply in war zones and beyond. Second, it examines the existing case law on attacks against cultural property during war. Finally, it argues that future prosecutions of ISIS’ acts against cultural property should not be tried as war crimes but as crimes against humanity.
