ICOMOS has expressed “deep concern regarding the recent escalation of conflict in the Middle East and its devastating human consequences”, and “condemns any destruction—whether intentional or incidental—of cultural and natural heritage. ICOMOS recalls that cultural heritage must not be considered a target.”
The ICLAFI-ICOMOS Symposium, Chaco 2026, has been officially launched. The significance of holding this international meeting in South America, strengthening dialogue between heritage, art, public space, and territorial governance, was highlighted.
