Monuments in peril
Monuments in peril
Our December 1964 issue reviewed the results of the International Campaign to Save the Monuments of Nubia. The present number is devoted to the International Campaign for Monuments which Unesco launched last June. The campaign's purpose is to foster greater public and official awareness of the need to safeguard our monuments and cultural treasures of the past from the neglect and ravages of time which often endanger them.
Where these monuments are in peril, Unesco's member states have been called upon to take direct action for their protection. It is hoped that this issue will help to focus attention and interest on this important cultural problem facing many countries today.
