On the occasion of its 80th anniversary, UNESCO, the cultural arm of the United Nations, is increasingly focused on defending global heritage. This heightened commitment comes at a time when conflicts are escalating around the world, and the erasure of cultural identity is being wielded as a tool of warfare.
UNESCO has reiterated that attacks on culture fundamentally undermine the essence of human identity. In a world fraught with challenges to our shared heritage, the organization is striving to protect the cultural diversity that enriches humanity.
