Advocacy

ICOMOS advocates for the protection of cultural heritage worldwide.

Through our Heritage Alerts and statements, responses to crises in conflict and disaster zones, and collaboration with the Blue Shield, we work to raise awareness, offer our technical and scientific expertise, and take action to safeguard endangered sites. Our advocacy reflects a strong commitment to defending heritage, the communities who are attached to it, as well as the professionals who care for it and ensuring its preservation for future generations.
