  1. “In the light of the experience, success and cutting- edge work of the Carabinieri Command for the Protection of Cultural Heritage, I am honoured to be here today to welcome the adoption of the historic resolution 2347 (2017). We also welcome the spirit of the resolution and its effective measures calling for unified procedures, stronger ties between Member States and police forces, broader definitions of crimes against cultural heritage and stricter regulations on the illegal trade of items with undocumented origins.”

  2. “Together with UNESCO, we are now working on a stand-by agreement to allow the deployment of the Unite4Heritage Task Force overseas under the United Nations flag. Meanwhile, we are liaising on a bilateral basis with several countries, including, most, recently Iraq. Ijust visited the UNESCO field office in Baghdad to identify venues of cooperation to address archaeological areas devastated and looted by Da'esh. The Unite4Heritage campaign has raised awareness of the threats to cultural heritage, mobilized players beyond the cultural heritage communities and expanded UNESCO's efforts to coordinate technical work among various specialized agencies and institutions.”

  3. “Originally the world's largest archive of stolen artefacts, it is now a powerful data analysis tool for processing data entries and aiding our investigations. Our latest initiative, the "Unite4Heritage" Task Force, made its successful debut in the aftermath of the terrible series of earthquakes that struck Italy in late 2016. The Task Force is a team of specialized Carabinieri Command personnel who work alongside civilian experts from the Ministry of Culture to assess the risks and quantify the damage to cultural heritage in crisis-affected areas and to devise the necessary action plans, including providing training courses for local staff, assisting in the safe removal of transportable artefacts from endangered or looted sites and strengthening the fight against looting and trafficking in cultural property.”

  4. “The Carabinieri Command for the Protection of Cultural Heritage also provides training, in Italy and abroad, for judges and prosecutors, police officers, customs officials and experts and practitioners from culture ministries. We recently signed technical arrangements with several national and international stakeholders. In order to improve international police cooperation in the protection of cultural heritage, we share information, best practices and lessons learned. Our most powerful tool - the database of stolen cultural artefacts - stores more than 1.2 million images and files on stolen artefacts, as well as the more than 6 million pictures and descriptions of artworks covered by our investigations.”

  5. “In that context, the Carabinieri Command for the Protection of Cultural Heritage serves as a model for other countries when it comes to engaging international cooperation at the judicial, law enforcement and specialist levels. We strongly advocate the setting up of specialized police units for the protection of cultural heritage in every country. In our search for cultural artefacts that have been exported from Italy, we often end up helping other countries track down and repatriate their own looted properties. We have also deployed as part of international cooperation missions, such as those to Nasiriya, Iraq, from 2004 to 2005, pursuant to resolution 1483 (2003).”

  6. “More often than not, trafficking in cultural property is a transnational crime, which requires a transnational investigative approach. Objects are stolen from one country, smuggled across the border, or the borders, of another, and then sold illegally in another country - perhaps ultimately finding a home in yet another country. INTERPOL provides pivotal international police cooperation, but that is not always enough. The looting and smuggling of cultural property is a complex crime that requires a specific focus and unique expertise that goes beyond the usual toolkit of police personnel. The only way to successfully protect cultural heritage is through close inter-agency work across borders.”

  7. “Mr. Parrulli: I thank the Security Council for giving me an opportunity to speak on this important day. The Carabinieri Command for the Protection of Cultural Heritage is the world's first police unit specializing in the protection of cultural heritage. Since its foundation, in 1969, it has been on the front lines in the fight against trafficking in cultural heritage. To date, our investigations have led to the recovery of almost 800,000 works ofart and the seizure ofmore than 1 million archeological artefacts. We have investigated approximately 35,000 people and detained more than 1,000. Those figures demonstrate the Carabinieri corps steadfast commitment to defending the world's collective traditions and history.”
