Abstract:
The idea of establishing a legal protection of cultural heritage in the present territory of the
Republic of Moldova dates back for a long time. In the last century, for example, during the armed conflicts
with the participation of the mercenaries, on the territory of the Republic of Moldova today, there were
numerous attacks, losses of human lives and destruction of cultural goods, both mobile and immovable.
This article meditates and investigates the evolution of the main international normative framework, which
aims to protect and capitalize on the cultural heritage of the Republic of Moldova following the armed
outbreaks with the participation of mercenaries.
