minds of men and women that the defences of peace must be constructed’.
Warfare is about destroying identity, self and to a larger extent, humanity. By targeting heritage,
destruction of bridges, mosques, temples, churches and others, the assailant aims to cleave the
connections to the past and vision into the future of the victims. Culture plays a central role in identifying
the root cause of a conflict and facilitates in determining steps for ensuring everlasting peace and security.
One of the biggest challenges we are facing today is to unite people to share a peaceful coexistence.
Cultural heritage catalyzes social cohesion and reasons social exclusion and xenophobia. Ingress to
cultural services and active participation in cultural activities allows the destitute and impecunious to
conquer their adversities and partake in their inclusion in society.
It is through cultural programs, one can foster respect and value of diversity, understanding of the
“universal element” in all cultures, helping to “humanize” the other. Strategies should be multicultural
and inclusive, promoting gender equality.
In post conflict situations, cultural heritage becomes a tenacious means in restoring of communities,
aiding them to regain a sense of normality and reconnect with their identities. Reconciliation strategies
should be explored through cultural diplomacy.
Cultural heritage promotes democratic values and induces tolerance. Increasing acceptance and
understanding over cultural borders contributes to cultural freedom in a country, which is an important
democratic value. It is through these measures that formalization of the community organization and the
cooperation between Albanian and Serb craftsmen is seen in a Serbian enclave in Kosovo. These can be
perceived as building blocks contributing to sustainable peace and democratic development.","2018","published",,,,,,,,"",,,,,"",,,,,"",,,,,"","",,"","","","ICOMOS","",,"scientific_symposium","19th General Assembly, New Delhi, 2017",,"en",,,,,"public",,"paper",,,,,,,,,"ICOMOS 19th General Assembly and Scientific Symposium ""Heritage and Democracy""","New Delhi, India","13-14th December 2017","other",,,,,,"TRUE",,,,,,,,,"","","","1.
