Summary

The massive intentional destruction of cultural heritage during the 1992-1995 Bosnian War became a seminal marker in the discourse on cultural heritage, stimulating global condemnation and provoking a variety of strong responses from international and national political and cultural heritage organizations, individual professionals and members of the public. This led (among other things) to a more definitive recognition in international humanitarian law practice that the destruction of a people's cultural heritage was an aspect of genocide.
