Abstract

Intangible Cultural Heritage is safeguarded under UNESCO 2003 Convention. However, it is threatened in armed conflicts by damages imposed to cultural properties, environment, and bearer communities. UNESCO 2003 Convention has not subjected armed conflicts directly. Hence, it is necessary to hire other legal regimes, including IHL to enhance the protection. IHL contributes the safeguarding by protection of the three components of the ICH, namely to cultural properties, environment, and bearer communities. This research examines such contribution.
