New Publication: Stones and Lives: The Ethics of Protecting Heritage in War (OUP, 2024)

Another output from our Heritage and War project, Stones and Lives defends an account of what may be done to protect cultural property during armed conflict. It argues that the moral constraints on risking harm to persons significantly limit the risks that may be imposed on both combatants and civilians for the sake of reducing risks to heritage. This challenges both current international laws on heritage protection and the heritage protection policies of various armed forces.
