Summary

Description
English: This image shows the damage of artefacts due to illicit trade at Palmyra, Syria. Today, the illicit trade in looted artefacts from countries such as Syria and Iraq represents an important source of income for terrorist groups. Cultural objects originating from the Middle-East are high value items that can be traced back to the cradle of civilization. The illicit trafficking of cultural property has become an international security issue. Thus, the international community has taken steps to denounce and curb this trade. Notably, the UN Security Council Resolution 2199 expresses concern that terrorist groups are generating income from engaging in the looting and smuggling of cultural property and thus requests states to impose a ban on the trade in cultural objects from Iraq and Syria.
Română: Această imagine demonstrează daunele comerțului ilicit de artefacte vechi din Palmyra, Siria. În ziua de azi, comerțul ilicit cu artefacte furate din țări ca Siria și Irak reprezintă o sursă importantă de venituri pentru grupările teroriste. Obiectele de cultură originare din Orientul Mijlociu sunt foarte prețioase datorită vârstei, ele datând din anii când civilizația abia se năștea. Traficul de obiecte de cultură a devenit o problemă majoră de securitate internațională. De aceea, comunitatea internațională ia măsuri pentru a identifica și combate acest fenomen. În mod special, în Rezoluția 2199 a Consiliului de Securitate al ONU este exprimată îngrijorarea că grupările teroriste obțin profit din comercializarea obiectelor de cultură, de aceea este propusă interzicerea comerțului obiectelor de cultură cu Irak și Siria.
