We will approach the theme starting by the clarification of two essential concepts in the subject we intend to analyse - the notions of <em>cultural property </em>and <em>peace operations</em>. We will then observe the question of the applicability of International Humanitarian Law to the forces of the United Nations involved in peace operations, taking into account the developments in this matter; afterwards, we will consider, in particular, the possibility of application of the norms concerning the protection of cultural property in the event of armed conflict to the mentioned operations. Finally, reflecting on the previous analysis, we will present our conclusions about the problem dealt with in the article, an issue of great importance in current international society.</p> ER -
