Cultural heritage

Max, so you were starting to go into, you mentioned some international frameworks and how they influenced what we did here nationally or, you know, in each state as well.

Can you just talk a little bit about that international side of things, particularly world heritage? Because that then starts to veer into other things like natural heritage heritage and heritage of natural environments.

And the example I always use is the Great Barrier Reef is a world heritage listed property.

So can you just talk a little bit about that system?

Sure.

And that's a public international law convention.

So that's government to government, and that's to control the trade in antiquities, essentially.

And then the other convention was the World Heritage Convention, which established the World Heritage List and set up this regime of recognizing places of outstanding universal value across the world.

We have Heather Hess, a professor of English.

She told students that she would like to see cultural heritage of the West done in a more comparative, global conscious way that does integrate some Eastern thought.

We're going to do Western heritage.

We're going to do Western sieve, Western cultural heritage of the West.

That's what they call it, I guess, cultural heritage of the West.

We need to do that by incorporating the East, right? Why not just do a course on the East? I don't know.

I mean, you can have the right motivations in doing those things.

We gotta integrate Eastern thought.

Meanwhile, in Ukraine, at least 16 children are killed or injured there every week, says UNICEF.

And as Israel's bombardment of Lebanon continues, culture experts call for stronger safeguards to protect UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

In Ukraine, 16 children are killed or injured every week, almost 1,000 days into Russia's full-scale invasion.

That's the grim update from UNICEF, the UN Children's Fund, which said on Monday that more than 2,400 children have been killed or injured since 24 February 2022, citing the latest available verified reports.

He also warned that the diplomatic and political campaign against UNRWA was impacting staff, one of whom was searched at her home by an Israeli soldier who accused her of working for a terrorist organization.

Amid ongoing deadly Israeli missile strikes in Lebanon, the UN agency tasked with protecting cultural treasures prepared to meet on Monday to discuss new measures to safeguard the country's many historic sites from destruction.

The meeting of UNESCO's Special Committee for the Protection of Cultural Property in the Event of Armed Conflict came at the request of Lebanon, which is home to six World Heritage sites – Baalbek, Byblos, Tyre, Kedisha Valley, Anja and Tripoli.

On Sunday, hundreds of cultural experts, including museum curators and academics, called on UNESCO to designate no-target zones around Lebanon sites and use measures from the 1954 Hague Convention to protect cultural heritage in conflict.

So actually, in our play, besides the In equality problems I just mentioned, there is also the concept of infinite sets.

As for Chinese martial arts, they are deeply rooted in our cultural heritage.

They undeniably exist and serve as a distinctive manifestation of what sets us apart from other forms.

And also like other distinctions,

Very good music.

Recently, the Congolese rumba was inscribed on the UNESCO, you know, Cultural Heritage, like, you know.

And Congolese, when you look back in history, Congolese, let's call it, you know, slave for what it used to be, taken to the Americas, you know, North or South America, took the musical culture of them and impacted, influenced a lot of the music, whether it is jazz or, you know, the, you know, Latin, you know, style of music.

So the Congolese people are the people that is very lively, love to dance, to celebrate life, to enjoy almost everything.

It's not just about the music.

It's about the cultural legacy.

Wright celebrating those trailblazers ensures the industry continues to thrive.

It also highlights mentorship.
