Abstract
Whether cultural property is looted to finance bloodshed, destroyed as a systematic part of warfare to annihilate the other, pulverized as a symbolic rejection of ideas and statehood, or used to make ideological and religious statements, the consequences of such destruction are profound and permanent. First, this chapter highlights specific methods by which extremists have attempted to erode identities and states. Second, it draws some observations on the dangers of destroying cultural property and cultural memory. Finally, the chapter articulates how cultural property can be a factor in national reconciliation and peacebuilding.
