Abstract
Experts from RASHID International attended the United Nations Human Rights Council’s first-ever seminar on the intentional destruction of cultural heritage, held on 7th July 2017 in Geneva, Switzerland. The results of the seminar were presented as a report to the UN Human Rights Council during its 2018 March session.
To enhance this report, RASHID International was invited to submit a document to the OHCHR regarding possible implementation steps that might enhance the protection of the cultural heritage of Iraq.
