Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct
answer to each of the following questions.

Over the past decade many priceless heritage sites and monuments have been damaged in countries
across the world. In Africa, sites in Libya, Algeria, Egypt and Mali, among others, have been damaged
during internal and cross-border conflicts. The three main threats to heritage sites are development projects,
armed conflicts and natural disasters. International agencies like UNESCO have called for the protection of
heritage resources in the event of conflict. But this has not happened.
Destroying monuments is a violent act. Those responsible are trying to erase - by force - an aspect of
history. One example was the Nazis who, during World War II, tried to destroy Jewish people’s art and
personal property. The attacks on monuments and calls for their destruction reflect the systemic and
complex violence in many African states, although it’s important to note that the problem is not only an
African one. ISIS is the latest group destroying history and heritage. This is popular in Iraq. Syria is another
country witnessing its heritage being wiped out. When examining the ongoing conflict in the north of Mali,
it is clear that heritage sites are just part of the damage of human lives and cultural property in the ongoing
conflict.
It is worth considering national and world heritage conservation policies and guidelines. All heritage
is valuable and should be protected. Destroying heritage is not in the interest of humanity. The African
continent has to address the question of how we collectively deal with difficult and damaged heritages. A
reflection on the UNESCO Conventions between 1954 and 1972 should also provide guidance on future
actions on heritage management at local and national levels. The 1954 Convention which calls for the
protection of cultural heritage during conflict and war was regularly mentioned during the Iraq conflict and
recent conflict in Mali. The 1970 and 1972 Conventions draw attention to protecting world heritage by state
parties, with these tools, countries should have enough guidance to individually and collectively protect
heritage resources.
