UNESO has an army?
No, UNESCO is a convention that countries voluntarily sign up to, and the onus on protecting heritage sites generally falls to the host country. Obviously, when an invading country attacks sites like this, there's little UNESCO, or anyone else, can do. Destruction of cultural sites, that have no military value, is terrorism, and, arguably, part of a broader goal of genocide.
