Protect the world’s cultural heritage threatened by wars and natural disasters
The International Committee of the Blue Shield (ICBS) was founded in 1996 “to work to protect the world’s cultural heritage threatened by wars and natural disasters”. It has been described as the “Cultural Red Cross”, and its name derives from the usage of the blue shield as specified in the 1954 Hague Convention on Protection of Cultural Property in Armed Conflict.
