Prospects for preserving Iraq's architectural heritage

Abstract

The Iraqi Antiquities and Heritage Act No. 55 of 2002, through its provisions to the Archaeological Authority, allowed the disposal of heritage materials through specific legal conditions by displaying heritage materials to the public, preserving them, or evacuating heritage areas in the event of a threat to them, as well as the possibility of showing them for scientific study purposes, as well as to be communicated to the public in museums and exhibitions inside Iraq. However, all these legal conditions permitted by the legislator to the archaeological authority are not without dangers that may accompany them, including vandalism, extinction, demolition, theft, and fire, and this causes an irreparable loss. In this study, we try to establish the possibility of securing materials for Iraq's architectural heritage, which we are trying to provide through the general rules of the insurance contract. We divided this research into two types of research that were the first title on the concept of the danger of securing architectural heritage materials. The second topic is entitled The Benefits of this insurance by putting the insurance of architectural heritage materials into practice
