Session VII Description:
Throughout history there are numerous examples of the intentional
destruction
of cultural artifacts. This panel will begin with a brief overview of the
topic and summary of the current state of the international laws and
conventions protecting artistic and cultural works. The destruction and
removal of sacred artifacts of the Native American cultural heritage will be
examined as well as recent initiatives related to reconciliation and
recovery
(e.g. the Native American Graves and Repatriation Act of 1990).
The fate of libraries and museums in Bosnia and Kosovo during the 1990s
Balkan
Wars will be explored. Discussion will center on the destruction of
Croatia's
library and archival collections in the World Heritage city of Dubrovnik.
Finally, the recent losses in Iraq and Iran will be discussed. The panel
will
examine the response of the professional community to the loss of the
National
Library and Archives and the Iraq Museum and discuss how such tragedies
might
be prevented in the future.
