In spite of the existing international regulations protecting the cultural heritage of mankind during wartime, the problem itself remains unsolved. Observing the atrocities of the Gulf War, the hostilities in Afghanistan and the recent war in Chechnya as well as former Yugoslavia we pay insufficient attention to the intentional destruction of cultural property. Taking these facts into consideration, the International Association of Art Law (AIDA) prepared a draft for an international convention against crimes known as: URBICIDE and CULTURAL GENOCIDE which, in fact, constitute wilful damage of monuments of national culture. The text, first discussed during an AIDA symposium held in Venice in September 1995, and then published in „AIDA News”, no. 7/1995, appears to be a particularly important effort to cease the unrestricted destruction of historic towns, temples, monastic complexes, museums and archives by means of increasingly efficient weapons. In a foreword to the translated text, the author recalls the premises of international conventions and expresses his conviction that the AIDA convention should become widely known in Poland, a country deprived of its cultural heritage during the second world war, where the convention should find, at the very least, strong moral support.
