COMUNICADO ICOM SOBRE SITUACIÓN EN SUDÁN

El Consejo Internacional de Museos lleva esforzándose desde mediados de abril de 2023 para adjuntar información verificada sobre la situación vivida en Sudán. El ICOM muestra su preocupación sobre las consecuencias humanitarias que el conflicto ha tenido sobre la población, incluyendo pérdidas de vidas y desplazamiento de personas.

Por otro lado, el ICOM también deplora las implicaciones del descenso de la seguridad de los profesionales de los museos, colecciones y el patrimonio cultural del país. Ante esta situación, algunos directores de museos de Sudán han realizado peticiones de ayuda.

Algunos comités del ICOM en la región, como ICOM ARAB e ICOM Egipto ya han expresado su solidaridad con el pueblo sudanés, tomando medidas activas para apoyar al sector. La NCAM (Corporación Nacional de Antigüedades y Museos) realizó un taller y foro de emergencia que se celebró en el Museo del niño en El Cairo, reuniendo a expertos y representantes de instituciones, organizaciones culturales internacionales y comités para identificar las necesidades actuales.

El ICOM declara que toda crisis hace que el patrimonio cultural sea vulnerable, especialmente en riesgos de robo, saqueo o destrucción. Por ello, advierte a todas las partes de la importancia de vigilar el posible aumento de tráfico de objetos culturales que provengan de Sudán y de la región en general. Además, la organización también condena todos los atentados contra museos y recuerda las obligaciones jurídicas internacionales de todos los gobiernos nacionales de proteger el patrimonio cultural mobiliario descrito en la Convención de la UNESCO de 1970 para las Medidas que Deben Adoptarse para Prohibir e Impedir la Importación, Exportación y la Transferencia de Propiedad Ilícitas de Bienes Culturales y el Convenio de UNIDROIT de 1995 sobre los Bienes Culturales Robados o Exportados Ilícitamente.

UNESCO, ICCROM e ICOMOS han expresado también su preocupación por esta situación.

COMMUNIQUÉ ICOM ON THE SITUATION IN SUDAN

The International Council of Museums has been making efforts since mid-April 2023 to attach verified information on the situation in Sudan. ICOM is concerned about the humanitarian consequences that the conflict has had on the population, including loss of life and displacement of people.

On the other hand, ICOM also deplores the implications of the decline in the security of museum professionals, collections and cultural heritage in the country. Faced with this situation, some museum directors in Sudan have made appeals for assistance.

Some ICOM committees in the region, such as ICOM ARAB and ICOM Egypt have already expressed their solidarity with the Sudanese people, taking active steps to support the sector. NCAM (National Corporation for Antiquities and Museums) held an emergency workshop and forum held at the Children’s Museum in Cairo, bringing together experts and representatives of institutions, international cultural organizations and committees to identify current needs.

ICOM states that any crisis makes cultural heritage vulnerable, especially at risk of theft, looting or destruction. It therefore warns all parties of the importance of monitoring the possible increase in trafficking of cultural objects coming from Sudan and the region in general. In addition, the organization also condemns all attacks on museums and recalls the international legal obligations of all national governments to protect movable cultural heritage as described in the 1970 UNESCO Convention on the Means of Prohibiting and Preventing the Illicit Import, Export and Transfer of Ownership of Cultural Property and the 1995 UNIDROIT Convention on Stolen or Illegally Exported Cultural Objects.

UNESCO, ICCROM and ICOMOS have also expressed their concern about this situation.

Millennium Development Goals – Just two decades ago, nearly 40 percent of the developing world’s population lived in extreme poverty. Since then, the world has succeeded in halving the level of extreme poverty, with the United Nations Millennium Development Goals contributing significantly to this progress.

2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development – Recognizing the success of the Millennium Development Goals, and the need to complete the task of eradicating poverty, the United Nations adopted the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, which includes ending poverty, lack of hunger, good health and well-being, quality education, gender equality, clean water and sanitation, and clean energy Affordable Prices, Decent Work and Economic Growth, Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure, Reducing Inequality, Sustainable Cities and Communities, Responsible Consumption and Production, Climate Action, Life Under Water and Life on Land, Peace, Justice, Strong Institutions, and Partnerships for the Goals.

Paris Agreement – While formulating and agreeing to these goals, the United Nations supported climate change negotiations, which led to the Paris Agreement on climate change in 2015. The main objective of the Paris Agreement is to strengthen the global response to the threat of climate change by keeping global temperature rise much lower From 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels, or even less than 1.5 degrees Celsius. In addition, the Paris Agreement aims to strengthen the capacity of countries to deal with the effects of climate change. To achieve these goals, financing, new technology and an enhanced capacity building framework will be put in place. The agreement also provides for enhancing the transparency of work and support through the transparency framework.
