The blue shield is a protective emblem defined in the 1954 Hague Convention for the Protection of Cultural Property in the Event of Armed Conflict: it designates cultural property to be protected in conflict, or personnel engaged in its protection. Its use is restricted under international law. Guidance in its use can be found on the website of the Blue Shield International, and on the UNESCO: Armed Conflict and Heritage website. Misuse of the emblem should be reported to the Red Cross.
