In Prosecuting the Destruction of Cultural Property in International Criminal Law Caroline Ehlert offers an analysis of treaty law protecting cultural property from destruction and foremost of the relevant provisions for prosecuting the destruction of cultural property in international criminal law.
The wanton destruction of valuable cultural property during armed conflict as well as during peacetime is omnipresent. Therefore it is of the utmost importance to provide for provisions criminalising the destruction of cultural property and offering a basis for the prosecution of possible perpetrators.

Caroline Ehlert, Dr. iur. (2013), University of Zurich, is currently working at a law firm in Zurich, which specializes in criminal law. She has published some articles on international criminal law and the proceedings at the Khmer Rouge Tribunal in Cambodia.
