Antecedentes
To address the urgent need for the monitoring of properties of cultural or historic relevance, as defined under Article 1 of the 1954 Hague Convention for the Protection of Cultural Property in the Event of Armed Conflict and its Two (1954 and 1999) Protocols, capacity-building trainings were organised under
the framework of the project “Monitoring of Cultural Heritage Sites via Satellite Imagery” (2024–2025)”.
The Ministry of Culture and Information Policy of Ukraine requested assistance from UNESCO to provide capacity-building in data interpretation for extreme emergency cases. That request was in line with the recommendations from the Expert Meeting 'Heritage from Space for Peace' (UNESCO 2022). Those recommendations encouraged UNESCO to strengthen its existing framework in agreement with UNITAR/UNOSAT to enhance the execution of project agreements and provide capacity-building in data interpretation for extreme emergency cases.
