"This book fills gaps in the exploration of the protection of cultural heritage in armed conflict based on the World Heritage Convention. [The author designates] a specific protection regime to world cultural heritage sites, which is so far lacking despite the fact that such sites are increasingly targeted. [The author] spells out this area's discrete legal principles, providing accessible and succinct guidelines to a usually complex web of international conventions. Using the conflicts in Syria, Libya and Mali (among others) as case studies, she offers...insight into the phenomenon of cultural heritage destruction. Lastly, by incorporating the World Heritage Convention into the discourse, this book fulfills UNESCO's long-standing project of exploring 'how to promote the systemic integration between the [World Heritage] Convention of 1972 and the other UNESCO regimes.'"--
