  2. “That is why the United Kingdom last year set up a cultural property protection unit so that respect for cultural property is further integrated into the training and operations of our armed forces. This includes respecting domestic and international law, as well as the obligations of the 1954 Hague Convention for the Protection of Cultural Property in the Event of Armed Conflict and its protocols, which we will ratify shortly. The action we take as a Council or as Member States will count for little unless we show that there are real consequences for those who carry out these acts. To truly rid the world of this scourge, we need to deter and punish as well as prevent.

  3. “It is an effort furthered by the British Museum, which is training Iraqi heritage sector workers so that they have the skills needed to assess and record the condition of their heritage sites and carry out rescue archaeology, as required. It is already bearing fruit. A participant in the training has been appointed by the Iraqi state board to lead the assessment of the site of Nimrud, recently released from Da'esh control, and another participant is looking forward to returning to Mosul Museum soon. But it is not enough to train civilians. It is often the brave men and women of the armed forces who are at the front line of the threat against cultural heritage.”

  4. “It shows our commitment and determination to act against perpetrators so that we can combat terrorism, prevent conflict and protect vulnerable communities. But as with so many issues before the Council, implementation is now needed. The United Kingdom will do its utmost to do so. That is why we have established a $30-million cultural programme fund to support projects that help to foster, safeguard and promote cultural heritage in countries affected by conflict. These projects are helping complete the new museum in Basra, helping to protect heritage and traditional crafts skills in Kabul, and supporting advanced archaeological techniques and technology for achaeologists across the Middle East and North Africa.”

  5. “Stolen statues in Syrian and Iraq do not just line the pockets of opportunists and looters; they provide a source of revenue for Da'esh. And in the region, the destruction of religious and cultural sites is about more than just bricks and mortar. Sectarian division can be fuelled by pickaxes and sledgehammers, just as it can be by bullets and by guns. So let us respond to this cultural destruction with the same intensity and the same unity of purpose as we do to any other threat to international peace and security. Though this resolution today, we have taken a step forward in doing so. The unanimous adoption of the resolution shows the strength of our resolve and of our condemnation of such actions.”

  6. “I shall now make a statement in my capacity as the representative of the United Kingdom. Let me begin by thanking our briefers this morning, welcoming the unanimous adoption of resolution 2347 (2017) and paying tribute to France and to Italy for bringing this issue to the Council. Today, all our briefers and all members of the Council have really brought home the sheer scale of the problem that we face. Whether in Timbuktu, Palmyra or Bamiyan, this is an issue that goes beyond statues, beyond artefacts and beyond museums. What we are witnessing is a systematic and corrosive assault on history, religion and the very fabric of identity. What we are witnessing is, in many cases, war crimes. This is not just wanton pillaging and vandalism; this is a matter of international peace and security.”
