International law prohibits an occupying power from damaging cultural property by making it responsible for safeguarding and preserving cultural objects from theft, pillage, and misappropriation. Key legal frameworks like the 1954 Hague Convention and its protocols require an occupying power to protect cultural heritage, prohibit its destruction or damage, and prevent its removal from the territory. This includes a duty to prevent looting, illicit export, and the use of cultural sites for military purpose.
