At a conference organised by the Greek Culture Ministry, Greece presented the Greek edition of the UNESCO Military Manual, addressed to the Greek Armed Forces in the context of the protection of cultural property both in time of peace and war.
The Military Manual, the first international training tool of this kind, was launched by UNESCO on 05 December 2016 and is intended to serve as a practical guide to the implementation by military forces of the rules of international law for the protection of cultural property in armed conflict. It combines a military-focused account of the relevant international legal obligations of States and individuals with suggestions as to best military practice at the different levels of command and during the different phases of military operations, whether by land, sea or air.
