Cultural property is a concrete witness of culture and history that holds a special place for the identity of the individual as well as the community as a whole. It further defines the self-image and social cohesion of a society. This is why protecting, preserving and promoting movable cultural heritage is one of the important duties of the international community. The destruction of historical sites, the persecution and consequent expulsion of Christians, Kurds, Yazidis, Mandais and other minorities is not only tearing the historical and cultural fabric of Syria and Iraq apart, but it is also ripping off the people of their historical identity and cutting every link they still have to their land. To protect and preserve Mesopotamian Heritage and to prevent it from bieng lost forever, we launched the Mesopotamian Heritage Association.
