Podcasts about Irina Bokova

Where people are killed and abused in warfare and violent conflict, artifacts of cultural heritage are often destroyed and mistreated as well. Indeed, in the World War II-era efforts to promote the then-novel idea of genocide, the Polish lawyer and activist Raphael Lemkin sought to codify the notion that genocide was both personal and cultural. What has come of his efforts? In this episode of International Horizons, we are joined by Irina Bokova, former Director-General of UNESCO and former Bulgarian ambassador to France and Monaco, who discusses the reasons why cultural heritage should be defended and preserved. Bokova provides different examples of how terrorist groups have destroyed ancient cultural heritage, the evolution of the legal frameworks to protect it, and how -- despite the disregard for international law these days -- the protection of cultural heritage is evolving.

Lecture summary: In 2017, the British Government ratified the 1954 Hague Convention on the Protection of Cultural Property in Times of Armed Conflict (henceforth, the Hague Convention). This Convention, along with its two Additional Protocols, sets out the obligations of states with respect to cultural heritage in war. War throws up a range of conflicts between protecting people and protecting heritage, in terms of both the use of resources, and the imposition and incurring of risk. And yet, from UNESCO to the Blue Shield, those working in heritage insist that such conflicts between people and heritage are impossible. For example, Irina Bokova, the former director-general of UNESCO, claims that, “there is no need to choose between saving lives and preserving cultural heritage: the two are inseparable.” In this talk, I argue that the failure to recognise these conflicts comprehensively undermines the heritage community’s response to the legal demands made by the Hague Convention. If we refuse to acknowledge that these conflicts can even in principle arise, we are ill-equipped to deal with them. Given that the Hague Convention requires combatants to deal with them, this is a pressing problem.

Episode Summary:In this episode we meet Talimka Yordanova, the CEO of the Global Citizen Forum, who speaks with us about the concept of interconnectedness, the consequences of interrupted travelling access and the radical idea of a Global Governance. Talimka shares with us how she envisions the notion of progress by changing the way dialogues are taking place and by building on the conversation through action, subtly pushing the social criterion towards an evolution of the global mind, in order to gradually shape an indestructible homogeneous world.To what degree can a community mature?How vast is that space between the 'world of borders' and the 'borderless world'? Where do we locate ourselves within the 'local' environment?And can one be truly a Global Citizen?The Speaker:Talimka Yordanova is the CEO of the Global Citizen Forum.

In this episode of Behind the Deep State, host Alex Newman exposes the legions of communist criminals hiding behind diplomatic immunity offered by the United Nations. First on the list is Michelle Bachelet, the UN "High Commissioner for Human Rights," who has now been exposed receiving bribes from OAS. These bribes were not just for corruption, but were part of the Foro de Sao Paulo's scheme to enslave Latin America under communism and socialism with money looted from taxpayers. Other criminals involved in this network included senior Latin American officials sought or even received UN diplomatic immunity to escape justice. In Europe, former UNESCO boss Irina Bokova, another communist criminal, also used diplmatic immunity to escape prosecutors. It is time for this to stop, Alex argues.

Irina Bokova, Director-General of UNESCO, reflects on the global constraints that girls and women face to receiving an education and what UNESCO is doing to help.

Kulturarvet förstörs i Syrien, Irak och Libyen, men forskarna tar nu krafttag för att få bukt med katastrofen. Vetenskapsradion Historia rapporterar om initiativen att rädda och återskapa kulturarvet. Vi människor är ingenting utan våra kulturer och vår historia, menar UNESCO-chefen Irina Bokova som nyligen besökte Sverige för att diskutera hur förstörelsen av världens kulturarv kan stoppas.Vetenskapsradion Historia träffar henne och många andra internationella kulturarvsarbetare, som ibland annat Irak och Syrien arbetar med att kartlägga IS skövling och plundring, som katalogiserar Palmyras hotade konstskatter, och som fortbildar lokala arkeologer så att de kan återvända till ruinerna med kompetensen att återuppbygga den krigsdrabbade historien.Programledare är Tobias Svanelid.

In the aftermath of the Arab Spring, several Middle Eastern countries have descended into violence as terror groups like the Islamic State have gained power. As they’ve seized territory in Syria, Iraq, and elsewhere, these organizations have systematically destroyed millennia-old archeological sites and trafficked priceless artifacts, creating a self-perpetuating cycle that provides funding for arms and erodes the region's shared identity. This process — which some experts have deemed "cultural cleansing" — has augmented the tragedy of the human lives lost to the conflict. In this episode, we explore what’s happening and what the world can do to stop it.
