| Sumario: | Almost 100 years ago, the Commission International de Coopération Intellectuelle (CICI) was founded in 1922. Its goal and mission was to enhance peaceful cooperation between peoples via educational and cultural means. Although this Commission shared the fate of the League of Nations, CICI’s successor, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) was more successful, laying the groundwork for various international agreements on the protection of cultural heritage. This article provides an overview from the beginnings of institutionalized cultural heritage protection in times of peace almost 100 years ago up until today, where so far both UN special rapporteurs for cultural rights have proclaimed a human right to cultural heritage. While this article concludes that such a specialized human right might still be in the making, sketching the evolution of cultural heritage protection from 100 years ago until the 21st century might allow also for an outlook on the future of cultural heritage protection. |
