| In post-conflict situations,
cultural diversity, when recognized and put into practice through actions in the related areas of heritage and creativity, brings renewed value to life and becomes a positive force in support of dialogue, mutual understanding, reconciliation, social stability and reconstruction. In addition to providing international coordination mechanisms and enhancing the application of
normative tools for the protection of cultural heritage, UNESCO has implemented numerous projects for rehabilitation and safeguarding.
