First it was the Buddha statues in 2001. Currently it's the desecration of graves and other historical sites in Timbuktu. Tomorrow it will be the Pyramids of Egypt, the last of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.
And the UN will no nothing but squawk. Or more likely put a representative of one of these groups on a commission to maintain historical artifacts.

There, FTFY. :)
The UN is a massive, bloated-beyond-belief bureaucracy, incapable of doing anything useful but talk about doing something useful. When they do act, it's usually without examining what action would/could be appropriate, and turns out badly for everyone (except the UN).
