Since 24 February, Ukraine's cultural heritage has been severely threatened and many sites have been destroyed. ICOMOS has been closely monitoring the situation and has provided a variety of assistance, ranging from monitoring and documentation to the provision of equipment and funding.

ICOMOS has published a new version of the European Quality Principles for EU-funded Interventions with Potential Impact upon Cultural Heritage. This new version has been updated based on the feedback from partners and stakeholders. This document provides guidance on quality principles for stakeholders engaged in EU-funded interventions that could impact cultural heritage, mainly built heritage and cultural landscapes.
