Abstract
This paper discusses satellite-based monitoring of cultural heritage sites in the Nagorno-Karabakh region of the South Caucasus, which for decades has been the center of a long-simmering territorial and ethnic conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan. Following the ceasefire that concluded the Second Nagorno-Karabakh War in fall 2020, the co-authors formed CHW to address the lack of evidence- based documentation of past and present abuses of cultural heritage in this intractable conflict.
