International Coalition for the Protection of Heritage in Conflict Areas

The International Coalition for the Protection of Heritage in Conflict Areas (ICHPCA) is a group of organizations committed to safeguarding cultural heritage—such as historic sites, monuments, and artworks—in regions affected by war and violence. Their goal is to prevent the destruction of cultural identity and promote preservation efforts even amid conflict. They work by raising awareness, offering expertise, and advocating for the protection of valuable cultural treasures during times of crisis, recognizing that cultural heritage is vital for community identity and history.
