Abstract/Index
ISIS’s strategic exploitation of cultural property: an unprecedented challenge. The intentional destruction of cultural property by ISIS: from opportunistic to strategic. Iconoclasm and ideology: a religious justification to the destruction of cultural property. Establishing a new State through the erasure of history. Strategic destruction as a component of war. The dual-exploitative approach of cultural property as a source of revenue. Looting for profit: estimating the extent of ISIS’s funds generated by its illicit traffic. The antiquities division and institutionalisation of the illicit traffic. The international legal framework to prevent illicit trafficking and its shortcomings. The 1954, 1970 and 1972 UNESCO conventions. Complementary international conventions: the UNIDROIT and Nicosia conventions. United Nations security council resolutions: binding instruments to move away from a State- focused approach? The path forward: harmonising legislations to successfully deter and criminalise the illicit traffic. Discrepancies in the perception of cultural property and practical impact. Venues for prosecution at a standstill.
