Angkor, once capital of the Khmer state, situated in the unstable territory of Cambodia, is in danger of total ruin. Angkor once had many magnificent sanctuaries, secular buildings, urban complexes, squares and gardens. Their scale fascinates us to this day, the 12th-century Angkor Wat sanctuary being the greatest sacral structure in the world. Cambodia's complex political situation considerably hinders the rescue campaign of this monumental complex. While the campaign has been joined by representatives of culture, scientists and experts from various countries— the fate of Angkor still causes anxiety. This is further deepened by the difficult access to the structures dispersed in the jungle and by the lack of supervision over the conservation measures carried out, even if these are on a small scale. Various organizations and associations that have come into being in many countries with the purpose of rescuing Angkor, are trying to stir the conscience of people all over the world and to snow the danger to the world cultural heritage that military conflicts bring. They are turning for help to governments, international organizations and peopie of goodwill. So far, one cannot speak of complete success in this. An important role in rescuing Angkor's monuments has been played by Poland, which has undertaken to act as coordinator of the international conservation undertakings. Polish experts and conservators have visited Cambodia many times, making out reports on the state of preservation of historical objects and preparing the program of conservation work.
