TEXTUAL RESOURCES

A variety of international agencies have begun producing white papers, announcements, and legislation based on the recent acts of cultural heritage destruction. We synthesize here the resources published by The U.S. Treasury, The U.S. State Department, and UNESCO in order to provide a perspective on what national and international agencies have been doing in the wake of the recent attacks.
