- The shelling of the 7th century city of Dubrovnik by the
- Serbian navy during Yugoslavia's fighting last year has given
- rise to an unusual resolution to be voted upon at the global
- environmental conference in Rio next month. UNESCO has a list
- of 358 cultural and historical structures, ranging from the
- Acropolis, the Pyramids and the Great Wall of China to Vatican
- City, the Statue of Liberty and the Taj Mahal. UNESCO seeks to
- make war activities "which are intended, or may be expected, to
- cause long-term or severe damage to the properties" a war crime
- under the Geneva conventions. Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak
- and Argentine President Carlos Menem are among world leaders
- endorsing the initiative.
