The Earl of Clancarty (CB)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 9 March 2026

Debate

Iran and the Middle East

Contribution

My Lords, obviously the first duty is the protection of citizens, but what steps are the Government taking to help protect cultural property in Iran and the wider region? Iran, Israel and the USA are all signatories to the 1954 Hague convention, but UNESCO world heritage sites have already been damaged, and many museums are at risk during this conflict.
