Blue Shield International
Following the Second World War, which saw extensive damage and widespread theft of cultural heritage throughout Europe and Asia, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO} was founded in 1946 with the official aim of promoting peace, development, and dialogue through cultural exchange and preservation. At the behest of the Netherlands, UNESCO helped draft and sponsor the Hague Convention for the Protection of Cultural Property in the Event of Armed Conflict, the first international treaty that focuses exclusively on the protection of cultural property in armed conflict; it entered into force on 7 August 1956, obligating state parties to protect cultural property in both peacetime and war, including those located in combatant nations.
