Abstract

ABSTRACT Cultural heritage in Ukraine is presently endangered. As Russia’s war against the country continues, Ukrainian cultural heritage has been damaged, destroyed, and remains at risk. Interventions into the war initiated by the international cultural heritage community commenced with the issuance of formal public statements regarding the war and its implications. This article reviews the statements by some of the world’s leading cultural heritage organizations, specifically the International Council on Archives (ICA), the International Council of Museums (ICOM), the International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA), and the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). Twin objectives are offered: first, establishing an overview of the international cultural heritage community’s early communications regarding the war; and second, comparing and critiquing these public pronouncements and implications for Ukrainian cultural heritage. Ultimately, a joint contemporary and historical snapshot situating the international cultural heritage community within the war’s early stages is presented.

俄乌战争中的濒危文化遗产:国际文化遗产组织干预的比较与批判

乌克兰的文化遗产目前处于濒危状态。由于俄罗斯对乌克兰的战争仍在继续，乌克兰的文化遗产遭到了破坏和破坏，并仍处于危险之中。国际文化遗产界对战争的介入始于发表关于战争及其影响的正式公开声明。本文回顾了一些世界领先的文化遗产组织的声明，特别是国际档案理事会(ICA)、国际博物馆理事会(ICOM)、国际图书馆协会和机构联合会(IFLA)和联合国教育、科学及文化组织(UNESCO)。提出了两个目标:第一，建立国际文化遗产界关于战争的早期交流的概述;第二，比较和批评这些公开声明及其对乌克兰文化遗产的影响。最后，在战争的早期阶段，展示了国际文化遗产社区的当代和历史快照。
