Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:
To ask Her Majesty’s Government when they plan to ratify (1) the 1954 Hague Convention for the Protection of Cultural Property in the Event of Armed Conflict, and (2) the Protocols to that Convention of 1954 and 1999, as enabled by the Cultural Property (Armed Conflicts) Act 2017.
We plan to ratify the Convention and accede to the Protocols at the earliest opportunity once the instruments of ratification and accession have been signed by Her Majesty The Queen and finalised ready for deposit with UNESCO.
