Legal Synopses Vol. 9 of Crimes Against Heritage: A Comprehensive Guide to International Legal Frameworks and Case Law

Introduction

In today's interconnected world, cultural heritage faces unprecedented threats from looting, trafficking, and destruction. The illicit trade in cultural objects is a multi-billion dollar industry that fuels organized crime, terrorism, and armed conflict. It also deprives communities of their cultural identity and undermines efforts to promote peace and sustainable development.

To combat these challenges, the international community has developed a comprehensive framework of legal instruments to protect cultural heritage. These instruments include the 1970 UNESCO Convention on the Means of Prohibiting and Preventing the Illicit Import, Export and Transfer of Ownership of Cultural Property, the 1995 UNIDROIT Convention on Stolen or Illegally Exported Cultural Objects, and the 2005 Council of Europe Convention on the Protection of the Archaeological Heritage.

In addition to these multilateral conventions, many countries have also adopted national laws to protect their cultural heritage. These laws vary in scope and content, but they typically include provisions that prohibit the unauthorized excavation, removal, and export of cultural objects.
