Cultural property law
From Wikipedia the free encyclopedia
Cultural property law is the body of law that protects and regulates the disposition of culturally significant material,[1] including historic real property, ancient and historic artifacts, artwork, and intangible cultural property.[2] Cultural property can be any property, tangible or intangible, having special significance to a defined group of people, whether or not the group is vested with a traditional property interest.[3] Cultural property laws may be international (such as international conventions or bilateral agreements) or domestic (such as federal laws or state laws).
Major issues[edit]
Cultural property during armed conflict[edit]
Two major treaties have dealt with the issue of cultural heritage protection during armed conflict:
- Roerich Pact of 1935, amongst the Pan American Union
- Hague Convention for the Protection of Cultural Property in the Event of Armed Conflict of 1954,[4] superseding the Roerich Pact.
Repatriation and looting[edit]
Repatriation issues may also apply domestically, for instance, in the United States, the 1990 Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA)[5]
Real property and built environment[edit]
