Trafficking and Conflict: Challenges for Cultural Heritage Today

This event aims to encourage joint reflection on the professional, ethical, and human responsibilities of heritage institutions and experts to protect the heritage in time and zone of conflict. The morning will be dedicated to current developments to prevent the illicit trade of cultural goods originating from conflict tones. The afternoon will showcase the Belgian premiere of the documentary "The oath of Cyriac" (Syria, France 2011, by Olivier Bourgeois) recounting the emergency evacuation of the collections of the Syrian National Museum in Aleppo.
