International Workshop in Rome An international workshop took place in Rome (16-17 may 2013), within the framework of the War Free World Heritage Listed Cities project implemented under the EU ENPI CIUDAD regional programme. This workshop represented a crucial activity as results achieved so far were displayed and reviewed together with experts from ICOMOS, ICCROM, IIIHL and other concerned civil and military organisations as well as independent international experts, all engaged in the field of cultural heritage protection, urban planning and management, humanitarian law and other relevant subjects addressed by the project. Possible improvements, integration or validation of data collected so far were widely analysed before completing two dossiers to apply for the enhanced protection of the world heritage sites of Byblos and Mtskheta in line with the provisions of the Guidelines for the 1999 Second Protocol to the Hague Convention for the Protection of Cultural Property in the Event of Armed Conflict. A two days activity that started with the presentation of the project and its expected results by the end of two multidisciplinary 'concept studies' that were conducted in Lebanon and Georgia for the assessment of the conditions existing in the two urban world heritage listed sites. A press release for the event is found on www.warfreeheritage.net soon more information on the Workshop will be circulated on this web.

Thoughts to share
'Cultural heritage is always at risk. lt is at risk from the depredations of war. lt is at risk in the face of nature’s occasional eruptions and irruptions. lt is at risk from political and economic pressures. lt is at risk from the daily forces of slow decay, attrition and neglect. lt is even at risk from the hand of the over-zealous conservato!''
'lf the cultural heritage community begins its dialogue based on this premise, then it will be able to make bridges not only to those responsible for planning for disasters, but also to ordinary people whose own vigilance must be stimulated, whose own courage in the face of disaster must be supported. We will be able to deal with catastrophe and its consequences without having to set human life against the worth of cultural heritage; we will recognize that the life and heritage are inextricably linked, part of one indivisible whole, and that efforts to secure one should serve to strengthen the other.'
