The request for the granting of enhanced protection to the National Central Library of Florence was submitted by Italy on 28 February The Secretariat requested additional information to complete the file on 2 May 2017 and received the requested information from the relevant Italian authorities on 13 July Evaluation 2.A Identification of the cultural property 76. In accordance with paragraphs 55 and 56 of the Guidelines, the boundaries of an immovable cultural property nominated for the International List of Cultural Property under Enhanced Protection and its immediate surroundings must be clearly defined, and the Universal Transverse Mercator ( UTM ) coordinates to identify the property s boundaries must be marked on the map(s) and attached to the request. Boundaries of a wider property must be indicated by providing a list of coordinates indicating the course of the property boundary. 77. Italy provided maps of the cultural property. The area of the property was also provided, as were photographs of the property. 2.B Article 10 (a): Greatest importance for humanity 78. The National Central Library of Florence is not a cultural property inscribed on the World Heritage List. 2 Therefore, the Committee must evaluate its compliance with the criterion of the greatest importance for humanity. 79. In this context, in its of 2 May 2017, the Secretariat asked Italy to provide additional substantive information related to the compliance of the cultural property with paragraphs of the Guidelines. The information provided in response to the Secretariat s request is included on pages 5 13 of the request. 80. Italy addressed a letter to the Secretariat on 15 May 2018, stressing that the Central Library of Florence has an exceptional cultural significance, uniqueness, and therefore, its destruction would represent an irretrievable loss for humanity (a copy of the letter is attached to the request). 81. Taking this into account and in accordance with paragraph 57 of the Guidelines, the Committee shall consider whether the Party requesting enhanced protection provided the facts needed to support and substantiate the argument that the cultural property meets the criterion of being of greatest importance for humanity under Article 10 (a) in its request. 2.C Article 10 (b): Adequate domestic legal and administrative measures of protection 2.C (i) Identification and safeguarding in accordance with Article 5 of the Second Protocol 82.

16 C54/18/13.COM/12 page 16 been provided (see part 3.C, pages of the request), as well as corresponding texts or a summary of those texts (Attachments 1, 2 and 3 to the request). 83. General protection of the cultural property is ensured through the Constitution of the Republic of Italy. Article 9 of the Constitution stipulates that the Italian Republic promotes the development of culture and of scientific and technical research. It safeguards its natural landscape as well as the historical and artistic heritage of the nation. 84. The implementation of Article 9 of the Constitution is reflected in a number of normative acts. In this regard, the Code of Cultural Heritage and Landscape of the Republic of Italy must be stressed. This legislative act defines cultural heritage (Article 2), the scope of the protection of cultural heritage (Article 3) and the functions of the State to this end (Article 4). 85. In order to increase the effectiveness of the management of the National Central Library of Florence, the cultural property was recognized an institute with a special autonomy in 2008 by the Decree of the Minister of Cultural Heritage and Activities and Tourism. The functions of the Library are stated under Article 6 of the Decree. 86. The Rules of Procedure, Emergency Rescue Plan, as well as Coordinate Emergency Plan provide a detailed overview of the safeguarding measures undertaken in accordance with Article 5 of the 1999 Second Protocol (see pages of the request). Corresponding texts are provided in Attachments 1, 7 and 8 to the request. 2.C (ii) Due consideration of the protection of the cultural property in military planning and military training programs 87. In peacetime, use of cultural property under general protection is not prohibited for the military authorities. In this regard, a number of cultural sites, such as the Ducal Palace of Modena, which houses the Military Academy or Santa Maria Novella in Florence, which houses the Carabinieri warrant officers academy, host military units. However, pursuant to the specific declaration of the head of Staff of the Italian Ministry of Defense, cultural properties under special and enhanced protection cannot be used for military purposes even in peacetime. 88. Particular attention is also paid to the civil-military cooperation within Italian armed forces. In this context, within Italy s general staff of Defence, a special referent of the Legal Affairs General Office is in charge of liaising with the Italian Ministries of Foreign Affairs and Culture and UNESCO for all matters pertaining to cultural heritage protection. He/She is also responsible for the dissemination of the above-mentioned rules within the Italian armed forces. 89. In 2012, the Italian General Staff of Defence issued a specific directive in order to provide all armed forces with a comprehensive legislative overview on the protection of cultural property (Attachment 4 to the request). The directive provides a detailed overview of the 1954 Hague Convention and its two (1954 and 1999) Protocols, criminal liability for the destruction and damage to cultural property under the international and national law, as well as military obligations for the protection of cultural property. 90. With regard to the training of the military, it is to be noted that on the basis of directives issued by the Italian Defense General Staff, military personnel receives a specific training on principles of International Humanitarian Law, as well as on the protection of cultural property in the event of armed conflicts.
17 C54/18/13.COM/12 page 17 2.C (iii) Appropriate criminal legislation providing the repression of, and jurisdiction over, offenses committed against cultural property under enhanced protection within the meaning of, and in accordance with, Chapter 4 of the Second Protocol 91. Pursuant to Article 15 of the 1999 Second Protocol, the criminal responsibility for crimes committed against cultural property has been defined under the Law No. 45 on Ratification and Execution of the Second Protocol to the Hague Convention for the Protection of Cultural Property in the Event of Armed Conflict, done at the Hague on 26 March 1999, as well as regulations for adjusting internal laws, adopted on 16 April 2009 (Law n. 45/2009). The law includes, among others, provisions on sanctions vis-à-vis to attacks against cultural property (Article 7), unlawful use of a protected cultural property (Article 8) and prohibition of looting of protected cultural properties (Article 9). 92. With regard to the implementation of Article 16 of the 1999 Second Protocol, Article 6 of the Law n. 45/2009, this normative act applies to anyone who commits the crime against cultural property situated in the territory of Italy during an armed conflict and international missions, as well as to Italian citizens committed these crimes against cultural property situated in a foreign territory. In addition, the Law also applies to offences, which are committed against cultural property situated in the foreign territory, by foreign nationals when the alleged offender is present in the territory of Italy. 93. In times of armed conflict, the protection of cultural property is also ensured by the Military Criminal Law of War. For instance, Article 187 of this law provides for sanctions causing serious detriment to historical monuments, works of art or science and premises intended for religious celebrations, educational, artistic or scientific purposes. In accordance with Article 165 of the Military Criminal Law of War - entitled "military criminal law enforcement in relation to armed conflicts - the provisions of this law apply to military operations carried out by Italian armed forces abroad, regardless of a declaration of war. 2.D Article 10 (c): Non-military use 94. A non-military use declaration signed by the Chief of Defence General Staff of the Republic of Italy on 27 March 2017 was submitted. It declares that the property, as well as its immediate surroundings, will not be used for military purposes or to shield military sites (Attachment 9 to the request). 2.E Responsible authority 95. The Ministry of Cultural Heritage and Activities and Tourism was identified as responsible authority and its contact information was provided. CONCLUSION 96. The Secretariat considers that the request for the granting of enhanced protection to the National Central Library of Florence, submitted by the Republic of Italy, is complete. 97. The Committee may wish to adopt the following decision: DRAFT DECISION 13.COM 12.4 The Committee, 1. Having examined Document C54/18/13.COM/12, 2.
