Summary/Abstract: On 30 April – 2 May 2018 the Grotius Centre for International Legal Studies and the Leiden-Delft-Erasmus Centre for Global Heritage and Development (the Netherlands) hosted an interdisciplinary seminar on Heritage Destruction, Human Rights and International Law. The conference, organized by Amy Strecker and Joseph Powderly of Leiden University, aimed to initiate discussions on cultural heritage across disciplinary lines. It sought to scrutinize the phenomenon of cultural heritage destruction – during times of both war and peace – from a range of angles, in particular from the angle of international human rights law.
