Unesco oversees plan to recover artifacts
Experts to determine extent of looting
By Alan Riding
The New York Times
PARIS: Struggling with little reliable information about the looting of the Baghdad Museum, an international group of archeologists and museum directors decided Thursday to send a fact-finding mission to Iraq to measure the damage to museums and archeological sites in the civil disorder that followed the end of open hostilities.
Meeting at the Paris headquarters of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, the 30 experts also called on coalition forces to protect cultural sites and institutions and they backed an appeal by Unesco’s director-general, Koichiro Matsuura, for the UN Security Council to impose a temporary embargo on the acquisition of all Iraqi cultural objects.

Even with little information available, however, an emergency action plan is taking shape. Along with efforts to persuade coalition forces to look out for stolen art objects, Unesco has alerted both the World Customs Organization and Interpol to tighten controls on trafficking of stolen art. Matsuura has also set up a special fund to be spent only inside Iraq for the purpose of buying back stolen art
Earlier this week, Italy donated $400,000 towards protecting Iraq’s heritage and it has since raised its contribution to $1 million. Matsuura said he had also received offers of financial aid from Qatar, France, Britain and Egypt. Unesco officials said that it had so far received nothing from the United States, which last year announced it would rejoin Unesco after an 18-year absence.

Museums and archeological associations across the world are also mobilizing. On Wednesday, Germany’s Archeological Institute offered to help restore Iraq’s museums.
MacGregorpaid, director of the British Museum, said that the British Museum, which is to be the host of another gathering of experts on Iraqi culture in London on April 29, has offered six conservators and three curators to help in the crisis and was coordinating its response with the Metropolitan Museum in New York, the Hermitage in St. Petersburg and Berlin’s museums.

the coalition is responsible for Iraq’s treasures
NEW YORK
The looting of Iraq’s national museum in Baghdad could have been prevented. The coalition forces are clearly to blame for the destruction and displacement of its cultural treasures.
Their failure to protect the museum – an effort that probably wouldn’t have required many more troops than were engaged in toppling the statue of Saddam Hussein – is inexcusable.
After all, late last year, experts and scholars started working with the Bush administration to identify key Iraqi cultural and archaeological sites and to have them removed from lists of potential bombing targets. While the museum was not bombed, troops failed to protect the building and its priceless contents from the chaos that engulfed Baghdad.

Текст 5
25 ноября в Кремле прошло заседание Совета по культуре и искусству. На нем кроме постоянных участников Совета присутствовали Президент России и впервые – генеральный директор ЮНЕСКО Коитиро Мацуура (Koichiro Matsuura)
* * *
Генеральный директор сообщил, что еще до начала войны в Ираке он призвал США обеспечить военную защиту археологического музея в багдаде, а британцев – взять под охрану памятники культуры Басры.
* * *
Он также призвал соседние с Ираком страны не допустить незаконного вывоза иракских культурных ценностей. Но призывы эти не помогли.
Все участники Совета заявили о необходимости активных усилий за возвращение культурных ценностей в музеи Ирака или временно в Британский музей и музеи других стран.
Никита Михалков поднял также вопрос о сохранении культурной самобытности России и отметил рост негативного отношения граждан к банальным телешоу.
