The European Parliament's culture and education committee held a public hearing on 13 July 2015 regarding the pillaging and destruction of cultural sites. The invited speakers argued that such deliberate actions in war zones - as well as art objects trafficking - amounted to 'cultural genocide' and should be classified as war crimes. Members of the European Parliament and experts reiterated the need for harmonised international legislation in this area. |
