The conversion of Hagia Sophia into a
mosque does not only offend its status as a cultural heritage site. It
also violates international law. Besides the relevant UNESCO conventions
for World Heritage Sites – which prohibit interventions on its listed
sites that are carried out only with the approval of the relevant state –
revoking the status of Hagia Sophia as a museum also clashes with the
European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR).
