The resolution in itself was poorly worded and framed in such a way as to make it unworkable in a number of countries including my own, Australia. Unfortunately this seemed to have been symptomatic of a number of resolutions presented to business plenary and I suspect this had something to do with limited time and rushed timetables. FYI, I abstained due to the poor wording and illogical restrictions. I attended WAC and I’d have to agree with you on the sentiments of that resolution and post conference shenanigans.

It’s quite long, but worth hanging on for, and as archaeologists we need to think about this kind of thing if we are to be taken seriously and have any chance of protecting the cultural heritage of areas under conflict.
