Director-General of UNESCO Irina Bokova called on all parties to cease violence and ensure the protection of Sabratha’s invaluable cultural heritage, including its archaeological museum, the UN body posted on its website.
Bokova underscored the need to protect cultural heritage in times of conflict, as recently urged by the UN Security Council in its Resolution 2347, notably.
“I call on all parties to ensure the safeguarding of Sabratha’s unique cultural heritage,” Bokova said.
On 21 September, UNESCO was informed by several sources that military action is intensifying within and around the Archaeological Site of Sabratha in Libya, inscribed on the World Heritage List since 1982. According to reports, military action is growing within and around the property.
