Latvia joins one of the protocols to the Hague Convention on protecting cultural property

Latvia is acceding to one of the protocols to the Hague Convention for the Protection of Cultural Property in the Event of Armed Conflict. The international convention was adopted in 1954, but Latvia is joining the protocol only now.

The question of how prepared the country is to protect its cultural property in the event of armed conflict is the focus of a report in the culture section of the Russian-language portal of Latvian public media, rus.lsm.lv.

The available excerpt of the source material does not say which protocol is involved, what obligations accession brings for Latvia, or what specific protective measures are planned. These details are therefore not covered here.
