Strecker and Powderly’s edited volume Heritage Destruction, Human Rights and International Law offers a novel engagement with international law relevant for heritage destruction, from human rights perspectives, both in times of armed conflict as well as in peace.

This book brings together prominent scholars in the fields of international cultural heritage law and heritage studies to scrutinise the various branches of international law and governance dealing with heritage destruction from human rights perspectives, both in times of armed conflict as well as in peace. Importantly, it also examines cases of heritage destruction that may not be intentional, but rather the consequence of large-scale infrastructural development or resource extraction. Chapters deal with high profile cases from Europe, North Africa, The Middle East, Latin America and the Caribbean, with a substantial afterword on heritage destruction in Ukraine.

Amy Strecker is Associate Professor of Law at University College Dublin. She is the author of several publications on the role of international law in heritage and landscape governance, including her monograph, Landscape Protection in International Law (OUP, 2018). Joseph Powderly is Associate Professor of Public International Law at Leiden University. He is the author of Judges and the Making of International Criminal Law (Brill/Nijhoff 2020) and numerous articles and chapters in the field of international law.
