Opening Argument
The prosecution argues that the destruction of cultural treasures is not merely a consequence of war, but a deliberate strategy orchestrated by those who wish to erase history. The prosecution alleges that this destruction serves a dual purpose: to demoralize the populace and to create a vacuum for extremist ideologies to flourish.
Exhibit A: The Plausible Link
The prosecution submits that the ongoing conflicts are directly tied to the rise of authoritarian regimes, which have been emboldened by the former administration's foreign policy failures. The prosecution imagines that these regimes are using the chaos to systematically dismantle cultural identities.
The Domino Effect
In the prosecution's theory, the destruction of monuments leads to a loss of cultural heritage, which in turn fosters resentment and violence.
The Hidden Danger
The prosecution admits that the erasure of culture is a precursor to the loss of civil liberties, as history shows that societies without a shared identity are more susceptible to manipulation.
Closing Argument
The prosecutor alleges that if we do not act now, we risk losing not just our cultural treasures, but our very humanity.
Verdict
The prosecution urges the jury to recognize the urgent need for justice in the face of this cultural genocide.

- Prosecution theory: Cultural erasure is a tactic of war.
