Abstract

Dissertation Summary This research paper aims to examine a horrific reality facing humanity in recent times: the targeting and destruction of civilian objects during armed conflicts. Undoubtedly, attacks on these objects, on civilians themselves, and even on human civilization in all its aspects constitute a grave violation of international humanitarian law and may amount to a war crime. Therefore, the issue of protecting civilian objects is among the most important issues related to the protection of civilians and their cultural and spiritual heritage. Given the gravity of this issue, the international community has sought to provide protection through the Geneva Conventions and their two Additional Protocols of 1977. These conventions explicitly stipulate the protection of civilian objects indispensable to the survival of civilians and prohibit attacks on them. Anything contrary to this constitutes a grave violation of international humanitarian law and may rise to the level of a war crime. Keywords: civilian objects, protection, armed conflicts, international humanitarian law.
