Cultural Policy sent to International Criminal Court - 05April 2021
A Social justice approach is fundamentally based on the identity of societies and communities in our world, and besides focusing on inequalities and injustices it is also positioned to consider issues of cultural heritage deterioration, violations of heritages, and cultural rights. Heritage is part of human rights,
part of human identity, and represents communities. A large number of our cultural heritage, represented by sites, artifacts, and buildings is degrading mostly due to attacks, wars, and collateral damages. Who’s responsible for that? of erasing people’s cultural identity? For the sake of whom?
We can notice, every day the high risk that is heavily affecting several cultural heritages in different communities.
Systematic cultural heritage destruction such as that carried by wars or terrorist organizations is considered as a form of “cultural genocide”. The tangible cultural heritage regarded as built heritage such as museums, monuments, artifacts, works of art, archaeological sites, manuscripts, and religious buildings
should be protected. It’s an unbearable catastrophe watching all of these cultural treasures and identities being destroyed to achieve agendas that wants to implement a blank identity to the next generations, and this is a huge social inequality and injustice. Without a cultural identity, what would be left for
people? How will they preserve their roots, their origins, and their land? This cultural heritage being destroyed is a very important issue we need to consider, as it is not only about a past, art work or additions but it’s fundamental, these cultural heritages is the fingerprint of people’s identity, the evidence that certain communities own lands, a culture and identity that is mostly reflecting their origin, dignity, communities bond and connection, and preservation of all of that to the next generations. What’s currently happening in many countries and communities, the loss of their cultural heritage is unacceptable and we need to act fast!
The issue of protecting cultural property during the period of armed conflicts is at the core of the competence of international humanitarian law, not only as civilian objects, but because of the importance that cultural heritage represents in the lives of peoples, because it embodies their civilization and expresses
their cultural identity and values, as well as it is a common heritage of all humanity.
The issue of protecting heritage and antiquities goes back to the 1907 Hague Convention on Land Warfare, Article 27 of which stipulates the necessity of the parties to the conflict to take the necessary measures to protect buildings designated for the performance of religious rituals, as well as the arts, sciences
and historical monuments. However, this article limited the obligation of states to exert care only without going beyond that to achieve a result, which may lead to the conflicting countries' violation of cultural property, failing that they have made the necessary efforts to protect them. Article 56 of the same
convention stipulates the prohibition of seizing and damaging property and designated facilities. For worship and works of arts, I also recognized that people who commit these violations must be pursued. In addition, the Committee on Responsibility of Persons who caused war and the enforcement of penalties,
established in 1919, considered the wanton destruction of religious, charitable, educational and historical buildings and monuments as a war crime. Civil In the aftermath of the Second World War, UNESCO adopted The Hague Convention of 1954, and this convention was the first international treaty aimed at protecting cultural heritage in the context of war. General protection and special protection. The two Protocols additional to the Geneva Conventions also stressed the need to protect cultural property. So we appreciate the work for developing this Policy from the Office of the Prosecutor’s Strategic Plan.

Press Release
08/Jun/2020
The Organization, International Coalition Against Impunity – HOKOK,
has declared that the United States of America practices chronic racial discrimination against ethnic minorities, which is contrary to international human rights law.
The organization stressed that the lives of people with dark skin are also life, and their human rights must be guaranteed, and stressed that the demonstrations that took place after the killing of George Floyd, an African American, and work to suppress the demonstrators constituted a violation of public freedoms and a clear violation of human rights.
What is happening now reveals that the United States is repressing not only through police violence against non-whites, but we must not forget racial discrimination in the areas of health, education, and employment.
The organization stressed that all societies in the world must remain vigilant to the crimes committed by the American administration from the policy of repression and the excessive use of force at home and the policy of invading the people of the world outside the United States through committing the policy of unfair and inhumane sanctions.
The organization also stressed that peaceful demonstrations are legitimate and that Washington adopts double standards because it criticizes the way a number of governments deal with violent protests, while the way the United States deals with current protests in the United States of America is never different.
