📑 Recent reports from ICOM’s Syrian members have outlined the emergence of an active black market for cultural objects in Syria. Electronic treasure-hunting devices are openly sold in major Syrian cities and objects found during illegal excavations are publicly advertised for sale on social media. Moreover, there has been a noticeable increase in the production and circulation of counterfeited cultural objects, especially coins, creating additional challenges for the authentication and provenance verification of Syrian cultural objects. 

📕 ICOM Emergency Red List of Syrian Cultural Objects at Risk was published to help art and heritage professionals, as well as law enforcement officials, identify Syrian objects that are protected by national and international legislation. The Red List remains a vital tool in combatting the ongoing, and resurgent problem of the illicit trafficking of Syrian cultural objects.
