ABOUT 17�Թ�CULTURAL HERITAGE INITIATIVES

Initiated in 2014, ASOR’s Cultural Heritage Initiatives is an international collaboration of scholars and institutions who work under the auspices of ASOR. Although the destruction of cultural property represents only part of the humanitarian crisis, these harmful actions threaten our common world heritage and cultural diversity. We have an ethical obligation to respond, and our project is part of an international effort to work with Syrians, Iraqis, and Libyans (and other peoples) to protect their heritage and cultural identity.

17�Թ�Cultural Heritage Initiatives:
1. Promotes Global Awareness and Understanding
2. Fosters Education and Stewardship
3. Documents Heritage and Threats
4. Counters and Prevents Illicit Trafficking
5. Plans and Implements Urgent and Post-war Responses
6. Provides and Administers Grants
