Abstract
All over the news we see cultural property[1], often connected to the cradles of civilization, being damaged, smuggled and abused. Currently many devastations take place in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, more specifically the Mediterranean area e.g. Syria, Iraq, Libya and Egypt. Within the size limitations of this piece I will indicate some problems, causes and possible solutions regarding safeguarding cultural property. These examples will hopefully stimulate discussions, research and a more pro-active approach towards short- and long-term solutions.
