联合国教科文组织一直致力于让文化珍品很好地保存在它们的原属国。联合国教科文组织总干事松浦晃一郎4月份在巴基斯坦宣布,阿富汗的文化遗产保护将采取不同的办法。他认为伊斯兰教创立之前的文物存放在阿富汗之外要更加安全,直到那里的局势发生变化。松浦晃一郎去巴基斯坦之前接受了《信源》杂志的采访,再次表达了拯救阿富汗那些免遭浩劫的文物的决心。 UNESCO has been committed to keeping cultural treasures well in their country of origin. Koïchiro Matsuura, Director-General of UNESCO, announced in Pakistan in April that Afghanistan will take a different approach to the protection of cultural heritage. He considered the preservation of cultural artifacts prior to the founding of Islam to be safer outside Afghanistan until the situation there changed. Koichiro Matsuura, who was interviewed by Source Magazine prior to going to Pakistan, once again expressed his determination to save those cultural relics from the havoc in Afghanistan.
