Project Information
PROTECT-HERITAGE will provide Lebanese Law Enforcement Agencies with training on how to deal with illicit trafficking of cultural property – from identification to prosecution – in addition to training officers in the use of 3D mapping technologies to map heritage sites and construct a database of targeted heritage sites and stolen artefacts. Finally, specific activities will be carried out with the Lebanese customs authorities, while the World Customs Organization (WCO) will administer the world-recognized PITCH training.
The project is implemented by a consortium led by the Carabinieri (Cultural Heritage Protection HQ) with the Netherlands Police, the World Customs Organisation (WCO), Iconem, B&S Europe and OSDIFE.
