The history of individuals, and the achievements and victories they have achieved, are among the most important pillars on which societies are based, so most of them pay special attention to protecting and transmitting them from generation to generation, so that they represent indicators that individuals can refer to and infer from in order to preserve and verify their identity.

Most specialists in the field of cultural heritage agree on that protecting it has become a difficult challenge for the international community, in light of the multiplicity of risks that have become besetting its various components. In this regard, it sheds light on the phenomenon of globalization, which removed the borders between all countries, and exposed the heritage of some of them to extinction as a result of the influence of individuals on some cultures at the expense of those to which they belong by their nationality.

The fait accompli prompted the members of the international community to redouble their efforts to surround tangible and intangible cultural property with adequate protection, especially by adopting an integrated legal arsenal that takes into account the characteristics of this property, the situations that may be exposed to it, and the risks that threaten it, in addition to organizing institutions that works to protect them like museums, these last are subjected to strict rules in the process of preserving, storing, and displaying them in a way that guarantees their sustainability, and their transmission from one generation to the next in the best possible condition.
