Abstract
There exists a sophisticated body of international law for the protection of cultural property in armed conflict. The relevant international rules derive from not only from specialized conventions on point but also from general conventions on the law of armed conflict, the customary international law of armed conflict, general conventions on the protection of cultural property, conventional and customary international human rights law, and customary international criminal law. The chapter outlines the relevant bodies of international law one by one.
