Abstract

Attacks against or affecting cultural heritage have been prosecuted exclusively as war crimes at both the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia and the International Criminal Court. However, this jurisprudence has limited the very concept of cultural heritage to solely tangible or physical manifestations of culture, excluding the numerous intangible cultural expressions of a given collective. This has precluded a constitutive link between attacks on cultural elements and crimes against humanity and genocide, and ignored the myriad ways in which the destruction of cultural heritage can adversely affect protected groups, including the disintegration of their collective identity. The rights of minority and indigenous populations such as the Uighurs in China can be better protected if acts damaging culture, including intangible cultural heritage, are inherently linked to crimes against humanity and genocide as this will compel states to better acknowledge, address, and prevent these crimes, in line with their obligations under the Responsibility to Protect.

文化破坏与大规模暴力犯罪:加强非物质文化遗产保护
对文化遗产的攻击或影响在前南斯拉夫问题国际刑事法庭和国际刑事法院都只作为战争罪起诉。然而,这一判例将文化遗产的概念局限于文化的有形或有形表现形式,不包括某一特定集体的众多非物质文化表现形式。这排除了对文化要素的攻击与危害人类罪和种族灭绝罪之间的构成联系,并忽视了对文化遗产的破坏可能以各种方式对受保护群体产生不利影响,包括使其集体特性瓦解。如果将破坏文化(包括非物质文化遗产)的行为与危害人类罪和种族灭绝罪内在联系起来,中国维吾尔族等少数民族和土著居民的权利就能得到更好的保护,因为这将迫使各国根据《保护责任》规定的义务,更好地承认、处理和预防这些罪行。
