Red List of Afghanistan Antiquities at Risk Released

In March, the ICOM Red List of Afghanistan Antiquities at Risk was published. The Red List is a tool in the ongoing fight against looting and illicit trafficking of Afghanistan's archeological heritage. By outlining the cultural artifacts that are most at risk, the list aims to aid customs officials, police officers, and art dealers in identifying these objects and promoting public awareness of this serious problem.

It is the fourth in a series of ICOM Red List publications.
